Lorraine Wade

Hello, I am Ms. Lorraine, and I am delighted to introduce myself as the Assistant Head Teacher for EYFS. I am from a vibrant and busy city called Liverpool, which is located in the North West of England. I graduated with a First-Class Honours degree in Primary Education from Edge Hill University in Lancashire and I have been working in the GEMS Network in the UAE for 10 years.

In my spare time, I like to keep active and enjoy being outdoors as much as possible. I have two very excitable dogs called Molly and Bailey, who keep me active with daily walks and we enjoy hiking in the mountains together when we can. Being from Liverpool, football is a big part of my life, and I enjoy training and playing football in a women's team here in Dubai.

I am passionate about the learning and development of young children. My philosophy of education is that all children are unique and must have a stimulating, nurturing and engaging setting where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally and socially. As Assistant Head Teacher for EYFS, my role is to ensure all children in FS1 and FS2 experience this and I am thrilled to be working with a team of fantastic teachers.

I believe that communication and a strong partnership between teachers and parents are important for children’s education and the team and I are excited to work collaboratively with our parents this year to help our children thrive. I am confident that this will be an incredible year for all of FS children.
