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.

The meteorological events of this week have certainly tried to test us all. As I walked my dog at 5am on Wednesday morning and waded through water that covered my ankles in parts, a sense of awe confronted me. There were many people up and about, much more than usual and not just the early morning joggers and dog walkers. People had come out to help clear up, to lend a hand to help sort out the area they lived in. They weren’t just taking care of their own area and belongings, but helping to sort communal areas and each other’s spaces. Neighbours and maintenance people all working hand in hand to get things back in order.
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.
