My name is Ms. Beth Upton, and I am delighted to join the founding Secondary team at Dubai British School Jumeira, where I will be teaching Science to our very first cohort of Year 7 students.
I hold a BSc (Hons) in Biological Sciences (Zoology) from the University of Leicester and am passionate about fostering curiosity, critical thinking and a lifelong love of learning in my students. I strive to create a stimulating and supportive learning environment where students are encouraged to explore scientific concepts through inquiry, discussion and hands-on experiences.
Beyond the classroom, I have a strong interest in environmental education and sustainability. I have led a range of whole-school initiatives in these areas, including coordinating STEAM events and launching ‘Upton Zoo’—a programme that brings biology to life through real-world animal care experiences. These opportunities help students connect their learning to the wider world and develop a sense of global responsibility.
I look forward to contributing to the continued success of DBS Jumeira and supporting students as they begin their journey through secondary school.
