Niamh is an experienced educator who graduated from Ireland and began her teaching career there for 1 year. Experienced in teaching in schools with multicultural students and teaching a vast number of EAL students inspired her to move abroad to develop in her teaching career. After spending a year teaching in Ireland, she relocated to the UAE, where she has been teaching in British Curriculum schools for the past seven years.
Niamh joined Al Salam Community School in 2020 as a Year 3 teacher, to then go on and be a Head of Year 3 for 2 years and from there to a Head of lower Key Stage 2. She also serves as an ECT mentor guiding and supporting new teachers in their journey to ensure they develop the confidence, strong practise and passion for life long teaching. Last year, she was appointed as Assistant Head of Years 4 – 6 and leads Mathematics across the primary school.
As an educator, Niamh believes that “Education is the foundation upon which we build our future.” In her spare time, Niamh loves to travel at every opportunity and enjoys reading, continuously seeking inspiration and growth.
