Meet the New Head of GES Primary

Date Posted: Thursday 27 November 2025

Our incoming Head of Primary, Helena Grant, shared her expertise of the English National Curriculum with World Radio Switzerland’s Katt Cullen as part of the Breakfast Show last week.

Highlighting its international recognition and academic rigour, Helena explained how the English National Curriculum balances pedagogical excellence with the development of the whole child through its focus on building teamwork, leadership, empathy and resilience. Ideal both for internationally-mobile families and local residents, the English National Curriculum enables students to develop their natural curiosity, make continued progress as they move through each of the six key stages of the curriculum, and undertake qualifications such as GCSEs and A Levels which are recognised by schools and universities around the world.

With over 25 years of experience in education in both day and boarding schools across the globe, Helena brings a wealth of expertise of the English National Curriculum and a rich global perspective of working across various continents.
