Leadership Team

It is a privilege to have been appointed and entrusted with the role of leading the secondary school towards the next phase of the ICS vision from August 2023. It gives me great pleasure to introduce myself as the new Secondary Principal of ICS London.

I am a firm believer that education lays the foundations for young people to be able to succeed in the world today. This should be a fine balance between academic excellence and the personal development of the whole student. It is my belief that there should not be a compromise. Students should achieve academic excellence and they should build the skills and the confidence it takes to excel in their areas of interest or natural aptitude.

I am originally from London and after having moved to Liverpool to study Geography at the University of Liverpool, I returned to London to complete my PGCE teaching qualification in Primary Education at St. Mary's University, Twickenham. My studies continued, as I completed my MA in Educational Leadership and Management at The University of London UCL Institute of Education. I have previously taught and led in English National Curriculum, IPC and IB PYP schools in the UK, Portugal and Qatar.

I was born here in London, but I moved with my family to Atlanta, GA, USA when I was 5 years old and completed all of my education there.  After earning a B.S.Ed in English Education from the University of Georgia, I began teaching middle school English (ages 11-14).  I became AVID programme certified, and I also earned a gifted endorsement to add to my teaching certificate.  I later returned to school and earned my M.S. Ed, also in English Education, from Georgia State University and moved on to teach high school English (ages 15-18) in various different schools. 

Originally from Mauritius where I trained as an accountant, I was then transferred to London to continue my training. I then joined an accountancy firm where I met my lovely wife, we have been married for almost 20 years and we have one son named Neil who is 10 years old. In my free time I like to spend time with my family and I am an avid supporter of Manchester United.

My teaching career began 17 years ago. I began to volunteer with a local charity which supported young people with developing their reading skills. I realised that teaching was something I loved and particularly became passionate about supporting young people with disabilities and additional learning needs to learn and achieve their aims. I then moved into learning support roles in schools and colleges before finally moving to London to pursue my PGCE in 2010. Once I finished I applied to ICS London. It was a stroke of luck that I found a school that was as passionate about inclusive education as I was.
