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.

At The British International School (BIS) Abu Dhabi, we are committed to developing creativity, curiosity, compassion, collaboration, commitment, and critical thinking- also known as the Nord Anglia Education’s ‘6 Cs or ‘key learner ambitions’- in our students. As a pilot school in Nord Anglia Education’s Metacognition Research Project, we are exploring how metacognitive practices can strengthen these essential qualities. To truly develop these learner ambitions, children must first learn to think in these ways. These qualities are embedded in our Star of the Week rewards and shape the way we support children’s learning, helping them grow both academically and personally.
This follow-up article delves deeper into three of the 6Cs – curiosity, critical thinking, and compassion – offering practical ways for parents to nurture these transformative skills at home.
During my time as a headteacher and school leader, I have worked with many Muslim families and colleagues in the UK who observe the holy month of Ramadan. However, this is the first time I’ve lived and worked in a Muslim country, and I wanted to learn more about the importance of this special time of year - especially since The President, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, has declared 2025 as the Year of Community - and Ramadan is such an important time for the community.
Right from an early age, parents often imagine great futures for their children, built around their interests and talents. The journey to adulthood, though, is anything but straightforward. While we all aspire to see our children succeed in fulfilling careers, the reality is nuanced, requiring a holistic approach to education and career preparation. This guide offers advice on how parents can empower their children to explore diverse interests, make informed educational choices, and develop essential skills for future success.
