Kathryn King

Assistant Principal – Wellbeing and Belonging

GEMS Founders School

I have been at GFS since 2017 and have a passion for leading on Wellbeing and Belonging. During my time at GFS, I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of the amazing team here. I am originally from the North West of England but trained and taught in Devon before moving to Dubai in 2013. As an educator, I have always been dedicated to providing exciting learning experiences for children which actively engage their curiosity and help them to become independent, lifelong learners. We teach children to have fun and take risks because it is through failure that we learn the most.
