To commemorate the 106th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme we held services at the Ulster Tower and 16th (Irish) Division Cross, Guillemont.

They already do one of the hardest jobs in the world. AND now they make sure everyone complies with health & safety rules. AND they teach students in class & at home, at the same time. AND many of them have their own kids as well. Teachers of Dubai - THANK YOU. ❤️🙏

We have seen concerns that appeals to A level results could lead to grades going down.

We can reassure students that, as there is grade protection this year, no grades will go down as a result of an appeal.
