Clare Turnbull is new to the UAE’s education sector, but certainly not new to the RGS family of schools, having been Head of Prep at the UK school for the past 12 years. Now happily living in Dubai, and hard at working preparing for the opening of RGS Guildford Dubai, we’ve chosen Clare as one of our Inspiring Women in Education.

Clare, can you tell us who or what inspired you to become an educator?

“I knew from a very early point in my life that I wanted to be a teacher and I have never wavered from that. For me, that moment when somebody learns something new…and you’ve contributed to it, well that is the greatest buzz that there is!”
