Alex Harrison

I am in my 19th year of teaching, which I came into following employment for 2 FTSE 100 listed companies in retail and banking. My teaching career started in a Grammar School in North Yorkshire; UK and I moved to Dubai in 2012 where I have worked for 2 GEMS schools. I relish seeing students grow and flourish through their education and in class and co-curricular learning at GEMS Wellington International School as it helps them grow inextricably. I live these growth opportunities through my ongoing work for the IB with whom I facilitate and author professional development and work with global IB educators and schools to structure and review their educational provision so that all students can access and achieve on their world class CP and DP programmes. I completed my National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH) in 2024 through the Institute of Education at University College London and use the skills I have learnt on the qualification to help develop colleagues and provide more opportunities for our students.
