On this episode of The School Show podcast, we talk to four school leaders about the challenging process that is choosing a school. To make the advice from our guests even clearer, we’ve split the episode into two distinct segments. First, we look at choosing a primary school with Fiona McDermott, Assistant Head at Safa British School and Ben Rothwell, Deputy Head of Victory Heights Primary School. Later on, we look at what makes choosing a secondary school a different proposition with Giles Pruett, Executive Principal of Arcadia School and Matthew Tompkins, Principal-CEO of GEMS FirstPoint School.
The first episode of the new season of The School Show podcast sees our host, WhichSchoolAdvisor.com Senior Editor, Jenny Mollon meet two UAE school governors who share their experiences in the role. Jenny also speaks with Fatma Belrehif, CEO of the Dubai Schools Inspection Bureau to find out why school governance is a top priority for those regulating schools in Dubai.
Exams have been cancelled right around the world for a second year running. For most students in the UAE, the word ‘exam’ has this year meant a gruelling combination of mock examinations and continual assessment. This week, The School Show podcast invited two school leaders into the studio to offer their very best advice to every student (and parent!) nervously awaiting exam results.
Giving your child a great start to their education is vitally important. But what really matters when it comes to early years education? What should (and shouldn’t!) our children be learning in their formative years at school? We invited Jennifer Dinari, Foundation Stage Teacher and Head of Inclusion at Kings’ School Nad Al Sheba, and Hannah Hepworth, Head of Foundation Stage at Victory Heights Primary School to share their expertise on the latest episode of The School Show podcast.

The Covid19 pandemic has meant that in many schools, children have spent the past year focused mostly on core academic subjects. For this latest episode of The School Show podcast, we invited Lisa Scott Lee of the pop group STEPS and performing arts school DPA, along with international rugby player and coach Apollo Perelini of the Apollo Perelini Rugby Skills Academy to discuss why children need an education that is both broad and balanced to prime them for success.
This week on The School Show, WhichSchoolAdvisor.com’s, host Jenny Mollon and our guests take on the question the WhichSchoolAdvisor.com team are asked the most…How to Choose a School?
Applying to study medicine at university is a competitive process and that the chances of rejection are high. It’s even tougher for non-UK students applying to the UK, as the UK government require universities to cap the number of international students they shortlist and accept.
Around the world we are now in to a second year of disruptions for exam year students. For the latest episode of The School Show, The WhichSchoolAdvisor.com team decided to find out how UAE schools are helping their students through the challenges of exam cancellations and, more importantly, gaps in friendships and the impact of missing some of those rite of passage teenage moments.

In this week’s episode of The School Show, we talk to the experts about educating boys. Our host, Jenny Mollon, is joined by three special guests, Clare Turnbull of the RGS Dubai, Bill Delbrugge of Dunecrest American School and Sara Hedger of GEMS Education. Our three educators share their insights in to the fascinating topic of educating boys and raising the next generation of men.
Our guests help us to understand the outlook for education in 2021 in two key areas (examinations and student wellbeing) as well as sharing with us their thoughts on seeing many schools return to distance learning as cases of Covid-19 rise across the UAE. We ask what students facing their exams should expect this year, what those applying for university in 2021 should consider and how both student and staff morale is holding up in these complicated times.
As we all well know, all UAE school children spent at least some of this school year studying at home. For many parents, this period gave us a little better understanding of how we can gauge the progress our children are making at school. But what else is there to know when it comes to understanding progress and how can we be sure that are children are where they should be in terms of their schooling? Matthew Tompkins, Principal-CEO of GEMS FirstPoint School and highly experienced UK school leader joined our hosts in the studio to answer all your progress related questions.
With the first term of school life during the Covid19 pandemic now well under way, we talk to 3 special guests about how their schools have looked to support the wellbeing of children, staff and parents in this testing and complicated time. Our special guests Esra Uzsayilir, Head of Psychological Services at The Arbor School, Asma Ahmad, School Counsellor and Wellbeing Lead at Horizon English School and Monica Valrani, CEO of Ladybird Nursery and Early Learning Centre talk to Jenny and Carli about all aspects of child wellbeing at school or nursery, with a special focus on how their settings have adapted to the Covid19 mandated restrictions.
