I am delighted to introduce myself as the new Head of Primary at Dubai British School Jumeira. My educational journey began with training as a primary school teacher at the University of Brighton, followed by a teaching career in West Sussex, where I specialised in Key Stage 2. Drawn by the UAE’s reputation as a hub for education, I pursued a career in international teaching. I have now joined Dubai British School Jumeira after seven years in the UAE as a senior leader and primary school headteacher. With a passion for lifelong learning, my qualifications include a BA (Hons) in Primary Education with QTS, a Master’s in Educational Leadership and Management, and my ongoing pursuit of the National Professional Qualification for Headship.
Beyond my professional life, I am a dedicated sportswoman with a background in competitive swimming, athletics, and triathlon, alongside a love for football. As a perpetual learner, I am always engaged in reading, particularly in areas related to educational research. My vision is to foster a culture of kindness, compassion, reflection, and innovation, challenging the status quo to establish a student-centred approach to delivering the English National Curriculum. As I continue my journey in education at Dubai British School Jumeira, my passion for creating a positive and transformative learning environment remains at the forefront, driving my commitment to excellence and innovation.
