Ryan Critchlow

Head of Middle School

I am Ryan Critchlow, and I have the privilege of being the Head of Middle School. I have been a part of the GEMS Cambridge International School, Abu Dhabi community since 2016 where I have been fortunate enough to contribute to the growth and success of our institution. My education journey started in 2009, at Sheffield Hallam University and as a lifelong learner, I have since completed numerous qualifications that have shaped me into the leader that I am today.

I lead with empathy and care, seeing the individual and I am passionate about preparing young people for success in both their academic pathways and their lives beyond school. I look forward to developing young minds and serving the community at CIA.
