Gareth Jackson
Head of Design & Technology
I moved to the UAE in 2013 and have not considered leaving. Following my passion for design I studied Transport Design in University which led me to a career in the automotive industry. I soon realised that design was only one of my passions and that I also had a keen interest in the educational side of the subject.
About Me
As well as helping pupils design and create products I also spend my free time creating designs and products for myself and others. Most recent to date would be an interior design project. I like to relax by training in my local gym each morning and walking my English Bulldog when it’s not too hot outside.
My Experience
In 2010, I began my teacher training through the Graduate Teacher Programme (GTP) in Swansea, South Wales. Following that, I served as Head of Design Technology at Brighton College Abu Dhabi for six years. I am grateful to the staff, pupils, and parents of SCS for warmly welcoming me into the community. I am excited to stay and continue contributing to the growth of the Design & Technology department.
