Paul Ryan
Head of Year 6
I am delighted to be a leading the wonderful Year 6 team here at GEMS Founders School.
For the past six years, I have been teaching and leading in British curriculum schools in Dubai. Previous to this, I was teaching and leading in London for three years.
I began my teaching career in the north of England close to my home town Durham. I am a very passionate teacher and I firmly believe that all learners have unlimited potential. I enjoy planning and teaching active, creative lessons, as well as developing the curriculum to make it exciting and engaging.
I look forward to working with the pupils and families at GFS to become successful life-long learners.
