Having graduated in 2005, Alison Glover has been teaching both in the UK and Internationally in countries including Kuwait, China and Malaysia ever since. After a short mum career break, she is delighted to have moved to Abu Dhabi with her husband and two children and to be back doing what she enjoys the most.

Alison believes that positive experiences of Physical Education can aid the development of healthy young minds and bodies and that a healthy mind enhances learning readiness and can therefore improve academic performance and achievement.

She has played competitive sports to a high level from a very young age in both netball and football and has competed in many other sports over the years. She still plays both netball and football competitively but now on a more recreational basis for fun and to keep fit. Alison likes to run and has completed many 5K, 10K and half marathon distance runs.

A lot of Alison’s spare time is now taken up with my family, enjoying the beach and spending time together at the weekends. They love to travel and have a number of countries on our visit wish list including Japan, Australia and exploring more of the Middle Eastern region.
