Head of Primary
After obtaining a degree in Law and Computer Science, I qualified as a Chartered Accountant with aspirations to run my own business. However, starting a family turned my attentions to the creative world of teaching and understanding how children think. Working in school is a pleasure, being with children is a privilege. I have taught all ages, in schools of different sizes in UK and the Middle East. I am passionate about high quality education. During my teaching career, I supported colleagues in the teaching of maths and Special Educational Needs. I was Headteacher of a vibrant and successful village school in the UK before looking for the challenge of working in the International setting again.
The clear values held by Nord Anglia Education resonate with me and, when visiting BISB, there was a ‘buzz’ of energy, creativity and warmth which made me want to come and lead the team.
Deputy Head of Primary
I am delighted to be here at BISB and very excited about getting to know my new class, colleagues and host country. I have come to Slovakia from Singapore where I was teaching at the Nord Anglia School for the past four years.
I turned to teaching after enjoying other careers. I studied Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Oxford University and went on to work in Journalism and Public Relations. When my children were young I re-trained as a Psychotherapist and worked in Private Practice and for the UK National Health Service.
Head of Secondary and Physics Teacher
I have worked in education since leaving university and have taught in UK State and Independent schools. I have moved to BISB from Kuala Lumpur where I was Head of Secondary in a large International School in the city.
As an educational leader in school I strive to ensure that students have outstanding learning opportunities during lessons, a plethora of enrichment activities outside the classroom and above all else the opportunity to be part of a caring, nurturing school community.
Deputy Head of Secondary & PE Teacher
Gareth has been based in Colchester, England and teaching for the last nine years at Colchester Academy. He was a Physical Education and Performing Arts Team Leader. He was also responsible for Primary Liaison at the school and joins the BISB after completing a two year National College leadership course, Teaching Leaders.
Gareth trained in Liverpool and graduated with BA (Hons) Sports Development and Physical Education. His PGCE was completed back home in Colchester, Essex through the University of Greenwich. Joining BISB is September 2013, already its clear BISB shares my enthusiasm for striving for students to fulfil their potential academically and in physical activity.
I recently moved to Bratislava with Alicia Earey also a teacher at BISB and we spend our weekends walking and exploring Slovakia with our dog Poppy. I also enjoy going to the gym and running, which apparently I do ‘excessively’ but it allows me to sample as many of the local restaurants as I can. So my moto is Exercise to Eat. We are already enjoying our time at BISB and Bratislava, therefore we hope to settle here for some time.
Assistant Head of Secondary & English Teacher
James received a B.A.(Hons) in Journalism and started teaching through the Graduate Training Programme in 2005. He spent five years working in English state schools before moving to Qatar in 2010. During his three years in Doha, he was a Head of Year and Head of English.

Director of Admissions and Marketing
After graduating from the Faculty of Arts in 2000, Milina had joined a small company specialising in organising international investment conferences, where she worked for two years. In September 2002 Milina joined The British International School Bratislava. At that time, the BISB was a small school and Milina was one of only two members of the administration team. During the successive four years she gained valuable experience in many fields of the school life from day-to-day business administration to admissions and marketing. Since 2006 she was responsible primarily for the Admissions, which she still thoroughly enjoys. Since 2014 as the Director of Admissions and Marketing, Milina has been working with her Marketing and Communication team on improving the communication with our parents and students, looking at different options how to show our current and prospective parents a wonderful work that our students and teachers do at school.
