  • We have been part of the GEMS FirstPoint family for over a year now and we love it! We love the community the school provides and we can not fault the leadership. Our 5 boys look forward to going to school everyday and have settled into school life with confidence and ease. They are thriving due to their interaction with friends and thanks to encouraging and supportive teachers. 

    The facilities the school offer are excellent! The pool, climbing wall, design tech rooms and performing arts studios are popular with our children.

  • In the 4 years we’ve been at FirstPoint School, my children have been so happy, one developing a love for sports and the other whose confidence has grown. I believe this is down to the encouragement, caring and supportive nature of the teachers around them. I look forward to enrolling my youngest for FS1 next year.

  • Our children have been at GEMS FirstPoint school since May 2017 and we are extremely happy with the school. Every day we find the teachers, leaders and all other staff welcoming, caring, kind and professional. The support the children receive both individually and in a class group is first class, and in our opinion, always to a high standard. Our children really enjoy going to school and love sharing their school work with us. We are grateful that the school actively encourage parent involvement and we really appreciate all the extra-curricular activities offered. We were really pleased with the seamless transition our eldest made going from Primary to Secondary. The school has definitely exceeded our expectations!!

  • My sister and I would like to express our sincere thanks to this outstanding school. There are many things we like about FirstPoint. First of all is the school spirit and atmosphere - friendly and welcoming staff, professional, engaged and motivated teachers and the most important thing is that the administrators are loving, supportive and fully accessible which makes our kids and us feel it is a caring school with an ethos of success
