Sreeja Shankar
Early Years Foundation Stage Leader for Understanding the World and Digital Learning
Welcome to GEMS Founders School! I am Sreeja Shankar, Deputy Head of FS UTW & Sustainability and an FS1 teacher, proudly entering my ninth year at GFS. With over a decade of experience as a dynamic Early Years educator, including eight years in the UAE, I am thrilled to lead Science and Sustainability in our Foundation Stage. My passion lies in inspiring young learners to explore and care for the world through STEAM-based learning and nurturing their unique voices in dynamic classroom environments. As the leader of our Little Changemakers initiative, I foster leadership skills in our youngest students. Beyond teaching, I am an avid trekker, a certified Mental Health First Aider, and a mindfulness educator dedicated to promoting well-being and lifelong learning for our school community.
