Gemma Martin

Since graduating, I have gained experience in teaching all ages across the primary phase. I am extremely proud and lucky to be embarking on my tenth year as part of the Safa family, where I have taught Years 2, 5 and 6, been Head of English, Head of Year 5 as well as part of the Inclusion Team. Prior to teaching at SCS, I taught FS children for three years, then in Scotland I taught in Years 2 and 3. In addition to this, I taught Year 3 at another school in Dubai for two years, where I undertook an ELL support role. As an educator, I set high expectations for myself as well as the children I teach. My aim as a teacher is to create a classroom atmosphere which nurtures children to take risks in their learning, be inquisitive, ask questions and achieve their best, while having fun. I look forward to meeting everyone in 5GM and I cannot wait to begin a wonderful learning journey together.
