Mr. Josh Gonet

Mr. Josh Gonet joined JPS in 2015 as a Year 5 teacher. The following year, he became Head of Year 4, a position he held for four years. He then joined the Extended Leadership Team for one year before becoming a member of the Senior Leadership Team in 2020. 

After graduating from the University of Winchester with a degree in Psychology, Josh’s interest in learning, memory, and child development led him to complete a PGCE at Kingston University in South West London. In the UK, Josh taught across all Key Stage 2 year groups in schools in both Surrey and Hampshire. During this time, he took on a range of leadership responsibilities, including Head of English and Head of History. After eight years of teaching in the UK, Josh decided to venture out to sunnier climes in the desert! He is extremely passionate about the belief that every child can make fantastic progress and that their uniqueness should be celebrated. 

In his spare time, Josh enjoys watching Formula One (he has been to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix many a time!), playing the guitar, including with the JPS Teachers’ Band—and spending time with his friends and family.
