In this episode of BSME Talks, Nalini sits down with Giles Pruett, Executive Principal of Arcadia British School and BSME Executive Committee member, for a candid, behind-the-scenes look at leading a school through one of the most fluid periods in education - just as UAE schools prepare to return to in-person learning on Monday, 20th April.

From navigating fluctuating student engagement to tackling the big questions around exams, Giles shares the real decisions, dilemmas, and innovations that have shaped online learning (both as a school leader and as a parent) and what they mean for the transition back to the classroom.

But it’s not just about challenges. Together, they explore how schools are reimagining the student experience; from keeping communities connected to finding creative ways to bring practical and sporting activities back to life.

Honest, insightful, and full of actionable ideas, this episode is a powerful reminder of the impact educators can have when it matters most.
