It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the British International School Gdańsk (BISG).

Since then we have already included teachers, parents and students from the U.S.A., Holland, Lithuania, Latvia, Norway, Romania, Germany, Italy, Columbia, Denmark, Australia, England, India, Japan and of course, Poland. For prospective parents, pupils or teachers, please contact us, or visit us and we would be delighted to show you our dynamic and developing school.

Robert Grisdale

Deputy Head

My teaching career started before I even had a teaching degree as I worked for a year in two schools in Botswana in order to determine whether teaching was the career for me. Having decided it was I went back to the UK in order to qualify. I had taught in Botswana for four years, in the UK for one and in Poland for a further six years at The British School in Warsaw, where I was the Key Stage 2 Co-ordinator. Most recently I have been working in Thailand as Head of Primary in an international school. In addition I had worked in the education research department of a London Borough and as a researcher at Cambridge University.

I have a number of interests including bridge, football, tennis, cricket and most recently Thai kick boxing.
