stature. The school is now open to students from FS1 to Year ‎11 and will

the school has become well-known for their key areas of success through the
development of Engineering in Education and Health and Wellbeing as well as
piloting the Skills in Schools initiative. In addition, the school has well-
equipped classrooms, a highly competitive sports department, digital media
rooms, innovation laboratories, dedicated science labs, music, art rooms and

strategy to lay the foundations to further its position as a leader in
associated technologies in the region. Students from our Foundation Stage
classes have access to attractive indoor and outdoor learning areas, high-
quality Information Technology provision, and most recently a special weekly
visit to the STEAM laboratory, dedicated to students in the Early Years. In
the Primary section, with the use of ‎1:1 technologies, students and teachers
in the Primary section use iPads and interactive whiteboards to enhance
learning opportunities where appropriate. The Secondary school continues to
develop and grow and has seen the LEAD and skills programme blossom supporting
students to make informed decisions and develop their learning and leadership
skills. A new focus of personalised pathways is supporting students in their
preparation for life after school and their journey towards success. In
conclusion, GEMS Metropole School has recently been awarded accreditation
status with the British School Overseas (BSO) and is a member of the British
Schools of the Middle East (BSME). This allows both teachers and students
alike to continue to grow and develop with the rich traditions of the National
