Highlighting the important focus on wellbeing to enable staff and students to thrive.

[Kelly Hannaghan @mindworkmatters]

Embedding a whole school approach for wellbeing is the answer, I know this to be true from all the work I have supported schools with. I have worked with some of the most challenging children. Their behaviour symptoms only got better when they felt safe, were seen and heard.

We're saddened by the passing of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. GEMS Education, the Varkey Family and the Varkey Foundation mourn a man who inspired young people to confidently explore the world through the Duke of Edinburgh Award. May he rest in peace.

Happy April fools day @KHDA

Due to ongoing distance learning, school inspectors will now begin unannounced visits to family homes. Ratings of each family will be published online to ensure students are receiving adequate support, sleep and chocolate.

We are sad to announce the passing of Madam Mariamma (Amina) Varkey, beloved mother of our Founder and Chairman Mr. Sunny Varkey. Madam Varkey is warmly remembered as a beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. A pioneer in education whose impact transcends generations.
