Benjamin Sharratt
Vice Principal - Culture for Learning
Having now been in Dubai for ten years, I have held the posts of Head of Year, Head of House, Deputy Headteacher and Head of School before moving into my privileged role of whole-school Vice Principal at WIS, where I proudly oversee our ‘Culture for Learning’.
For a large part of my career, I have been involved in
school improvement, with a particular focus on raising standards in Learning,
Teaching and Assessment practices within schools requiring rapid change. I have
worked as an Advanced Skills Teacher, Lead Practitioner and a Local Authority
Advisor for Maths, Phonics and EAL. I hold the National Professional Qualification
for Headship (NPQH) from the London Institute for Education, and work
extensively across our Wellington Cluster and wider GEMS network, leading on
our High-Performance Learning Program (HPL), whilst also focusing on quality
assurance practices and inspection preparation support.
