Justin Durling
We are delighted to announce the appointment of the highly recognised international educator, Justin Durling, as our Founding Head. With years of experience as the Head at schools around the globe – including in Egypt, Malaysia, and Ecuador – he will provide an innovative approach to learning and teaching, for the local and international communities of Oman, enabling the development of every aspect of the character and talents of each individual student.
Students at RGSG Muscat will receive a UK education that has been adapted to align with the cultural values and everyday life in Oman. As one of the most renowned curricula in the world, our British-based, Middle Eastern influenced, education will offer students many opportunities for growth, challenge and learning in a happy, safe, well-ordered and stimulating environment. We pride ourselves on providing a curriculum that enables each student to realise their aspirations and dreams by balancing their academic and personal development.
