All About Miss Buckley
Originally from Cheshire, UK, Miss Buckley’s passion for working with children was first realised when supporting her secondary school’s Music Department as a sixth former, by leading a Year 7 String Orchestra. Miss Buckley was inspired by the students’ talents coming to life as they played, and she believes that every student has the right for their interests and curiosity to be nurtured. After achieving her Music BMus(Hons) Degree at City University in London, Miss Buckley completed her PGCE at the University of Chester in 2013. The first three years of her teaching career were spent in the UK, before moving to the UAE in 2016. Miss Buckley has proudly called Dubai her home for almost six years and has had the valuable opportunity of gaining a wealth of leadership experience within an Outstanding British school during this time.
Within Miss Buckley’s ten years of teaching experience, she has taken on a wealth of leadership responsibilities, as well as achieving the National Professional Qualification for Senior Leadership. Miss Buckley is extremely passionate about bringing out the best in others, helping them to flourish and achieve more than they ever thought possible. When Miss Buckley is not in school, her perfect downtime is spent horse riding in the desert, cycling or playing the piano.
As Head of Primary at DGPS, Miss Buckley is very excited to bring her experience and enthusiasm to drive the school forward, developing partnerships while promoting Dove Green’s vision of ‘Learning Together, Growing Together’, and so enabling all children to reach their highest potential.
