Meet The Team
Capital School is a British School Overseas, so our staff body reflects this. Our teaching staff, most of whom are native English speakers, are highly qualified with wide-ranging knowledge of the British education system. They are committed to delivering the best possible educational experience for every child, with continued professional development being a priority.
Support staff are chosen for their dedication, experience and qualifications — whether directly supporting pupils in the classroom or as part of the general operations team. Where possible, we also employ local staff to emphasise the importance of Bahraini culture as a foundation of our British school ethos.
All staff are a valued part of the Capital School family — formed by our pupils, their families, staff and external partners.
Section Heads
"Education is the key to unlocking the world. It is the passport to freedom."
I feel extremely privileged to be part of the Senior Leadership Team here at Capital School. I have extensive experience in Primary Leadership which has seen me take on a range of different roles: Safeguarding, Behaviour and Attitudes Lead; Curriculum Development Lead; and most recent being Head of a large junior school in England.
My educational ethos is one which has children at its heart. Every decision is made to improve children’s educational experience and life chances. I have extremely high expectations of myself and of those around me, and as such I ensure everyone strives to be the best they can: adults and children. I joined Capital School in August 2024 with my wife and two children. Both my children attend the school, and my wife teaches in Year 6. Away from school, I have been enjoying exploring Bahrain’s rich history and spending time with my family.
I am thrilled to be joining Capital School as Head of Secondary. It is a privilege to have the opportunity to help shape the future of the young people in our school and to work alongside the wider school community as Capital continues the next stage of its development.
I have worked in education for over 30 years, both in the UK and internationally, and have held senior leadership positions for more than 15 years, including seven years as a Headteacher. Before joining Capital School in August 2026, I worked in China. Prior to this, I spent three years working across the GCC, advising schools on the development and implementation of both day and boarding school provision in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
At the heart of my educational philosophy is the belief that young people need to feel safe, happy, valued and cared for. When this strong foundation is in place, students are far more likely to develop confidence, embrace challenge and fulfil their academic potential.
Beyond school, I enjoy watching football and travelling with my wife, exploring different countries and cultures. We are both very much looking forward to discovering more of this beautiful Kingdom and everything Bahrain has to offer. We also have a cat and a dog, who are very much part of the family — although I should probably clarify that it is the dog, rather than the cat, who joins me on the long walks!
