John Ridley

Director of Learning, Tanglin Trust School

Singapore

John is Director of Learning at Tanglin Trust School and is a member of the whole school Leadership and Management Teams. In his current role, he is responsible for ensuring that Tanglin’s curriculum remains relevant and appropriately challenging across the full age range of the school, and that there is planned progression in the curriculum as students move through the different phases. In recent years this has meant a significant focus on the provision and use of mobile technologies across the school – as well as consequential developments in Information Literacy in the curriculum and in physical learning spaces.

John started his teaching career as a secondary school teacher of Physics. He has taught in 5 different schools, in the UK, Bermuda and Singapore. Before moving into the Director of Learning role at Tanglin, John was Head of Science in the Senior School and later Assistant Headteacher, with responsibility for Curriculum and Assessment.
