Hello, families of Dubai British School Jumeira!
My name is Mrs. Sarah Wiseman, and I am thrilled to introduce myself as your new teacher and to join the wonderful DBSJ community.
I’d love to share a little about myself before the new term begins. I hold a BA Hons in Primary Education with a specialism in Art and Design from Edge Hill University. I started teaching 16 years ago in the UK and have since taught internationally in Abu Dhabi and Bangkok, Thailand. More recently, I’ve worked in both independent and state schools in Yorkshire.
I bring a wealth of experience across Early Years and Key Stage 1. I am passionate about child-centred learning, encouraging curiosity, creativity, independence, and collaboration. I strive to make learning fun, interactive, and meaningful, creating environments where children feel safe, valued, and eager to explore. I believe in playful, hands-on experiences that celebrate each child’s unique talents.
Outside the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my husband, daughter, and our dog – Mango. We love walking, exploring the outdoors, swimming, and discovering new places. As a family we love to read, one of our favourite’s is Giraffes Can’t Dance by Giles Andreae for its message of confidence and celebrating uniqueness.
