I am thrilled to have been appointed principal of Royal Grammar School Guildford Qatar. After 20 years international experience across 6 countries; the last 8 years leading another British school here in Qatar, I am excited by this opportunity.

Throughout my teaching career I have maintained a simple philosophy, that being that children learn best when they are enjoying what they are doing. This sits very well with the broader RGSG philosophy of “ensuring our children are happy ensures excellent learning takes place; that is what we do throughout all of our RGS family of schools”.

The RGSGQ community has been very welcoming. Our students seem happy and open to challenges that extend their learning. The parents I have met so far have spoken fondly of their time with us and were also extremely supportive.

Our staff add greatly to the strong community feel and appear very willing to go the extra mile for your children. They are keen to offer a wide range of learning experiences, allowing their students to develop to their full potential.

I see wonderful things ahead for RGSGQ and will give 100% effort to help us reach our full potential. To achieve these, a strong partnership is needed between school and parents to ensure the best outcomes for our children. I encourage a transparent, open-door approach for all, and would welcome you to drop-in to meet me at any stage.
