Our Staff

The teaching staff is the greatest resource in any school. We are privileged to have a thoroughly committed, competent and professional teaching staff at Grace International School. There is a great team spirit and a real unity between members of staff. Your children's education is in good hands.

As teachers our shared purpose is to provide a quality education, in safe and pleasant surroundings, and to ensure that the worth of every child is recognised and appreciated. We aim to build confidence, in the firm belief that confidence is the key to all round development and success.

It is a school policy that all teaching staff are fully qualified and have either been trained in the UK or have relevant teaching experience to allow them to ably teach the English National Curriculum.

Non-teaching Staff

Central to the Grace community are the teams of people other than the teachers who work behind the scenes to provide for an efficient and friendly environment. Without these dedicated colleagues, Grace could not function as it does.
