DAVID INGRAM Head of College Dulwich College Singapore The WorldWise Shakespeare Festival has been a real highlight. Students and educators came together in Singapore, culminating in a promenade production of Romeo and Juliet, with scenes unfolding across our campus. It was Shakespeare reimagined through young people: collaborative, creative and wonderfully ambitious. Most special was seeing students take risks, learn from one another and experience the confidence and connection that come from creating something together. @david-ingram-4b57082a

CLAIRE FLETCHER-BEEL Headteacher Phoenix House, Tokyo Japan Every decision I make as founding Head of Phoenix House in Tokyo begins with one question: what is best for our pupils? This September, opening Upper House, a new campus for our ten- and eleven-year-olds, put that principle into practice. Designed to bridge the gap between prep and senior school, it offers greater independence alongside daily returns to the main school to sustain their sense of belonging. The Prep 1 children who joined when we opened in 2021 are now confident Prep 6 pupils in their final year. Watching them grow, and shaping the school around their needs, makes this milestone particularly special. @claire-fletcher-beel-409888206
