As soon as they returned after their relaxing Winter Break Year 11s were straight back into serious work with their mock exams. In preparation for their GCSEs which begin in May, all students made their way to the exam hall to test the revision they had done over the holidays. A major benefit of mock exams is that it gives students a chance to test their exam techniques, including crucial timing, to ensure that when the real thing rolls round they spend the right amount of time on each question and don’t find themselves frantically scribbling in the last fifteen minutes.
Pictured here are students whose efforts and results were worthy of being highlighted. Some of these students achieved results which surpassed expectations. Others may not have had the highest academic score but showed incredible progress from previous exams. I’d like to congratulate them on their hard work and encourage them to continue to strive to achieve their full potential.

Yesterday saw the UAE recognise and celebrate mums. In fact, in the Arab world, there are over 10 countries that all celebrate the importance of mums on this day.
The history of it in the Arab world originates from Egypt. It was introduced in Egypt by a journalist called Mustafa Amin and was first celebrated in 1956. The practice has since been adopted by many Arab countries.
Recently, I've had the incredible privilege of connecting with professionals and leaders across the Middle East, India, and Asia. These conversations have surpassed the typical networking experience, becoming windows into diverse perspectives, rich experiences, and unique expertise.
It has become clear that collaboration is not just a buzzword but a powerful force that moves us beyond individual capacities and geographical boundaries.
For a moment I stood a little aside from the Community Iftar this week. Alone, an onlooker, I watched a scene unfold. Children ran and played. Older children organised fun and games. Adults talked and laughed, the sun turned the sky a rosy shade of pink and the smell of the imminent iftar filled the air. A voice cried out in song. New faces, familiar faces, old faces, smiling faces. Standing alone, I couldn’t help but smile – and I couldn’t stop my heart from bursting with pride – at the sight of this community being together.
