Michael Atkinson

Hello, founding families of Dubai British School Jumeira! My name is Michael, and I am excited to join this wonderful school community as the Assistant Head of Primary.

I’d like to share a bit about my background, interests, and educational philosophy so that you can get to know me better.

For the past six years, I have been a part of the Dubai British School Jumeirah Park, where I taught Year 6. During my time there, I enjoyed exploring topics such as World War II and Africa with the students. I am thrilled to bring some of the cultural and outstanding learning practices from Jumeirah Park to our new school.

I am looking forward to getting into all the classes and working with everyone to explore different learning opportunities. Together, with all our brilliant teachers I am looking forward to creating a dynamic and nurturing educational environment at DBSJ. I believe in creating an environment where students feel valued and enthusiastic about their education. I am passionate about finding innovative learning opportunities and integrating them into the classroom to enhance student engagement and growth.

Outside of school, I cherish spending time with my family, traveling, and exploring Dubai and beyond.
