Hello families of Dubai British School Jumeira!
My name is Jess Griffin and I am thrilled to be joining your wonderful school community.
As the oldest of four siblings and part of a large family, I fostered a love for supporting and helping children from a young age. It was always my ambition to become a teacher, led me to pursue a Primary Education degree at the University of Brighton.
Since graduating 9 years ago, I have worked throughout the Primary and Early years, learning an growing alongside many pupils. Most recently, my role has developed into a SENDCo position, teaching pupils with identified speech and language needs.
Within my teaching, I have developed a passion for creativity, learning through play and the power of communication.
I strongly believe that, with the right support, every child has the ability to achieve their goals, growing to reach their full potential.
I pride myself on a nurturing approach to teaching, allowing all learners to feel valued, included and confident.
When I am away from the classroom, I can often be found reading, shopping or spending time with my family. I love live music and often attend concerts and festivals. I am a big fan of country music!
My favourite book series growing up was Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling. I love these stories for their magic and the enchanting worlds they create, whilst celebrating the power of friendship and bravery.
