This has enabled strong Business Continuity, enhanced compliance and has significantly reduced the overall operational costs. “For an organization that has the interests of over 120 thousand students from 176 over countries, the parent community and internal teams who are connected via several IT applications, it was important for us to be proactive in our approach to Disaster Recovery. We needed to implement a solution that we could rely on so as to ensure that we are not dependent on the existing network and avoid any lock down,” said, Shabeer Mohammed, Vice President – Technology, GEMS Education. “After an internal study, we decided to step away from the traditional Data Centre model and needed to have an optimized calculated environment which is hosted in the Cloud. One which would negate the high asset costs of a Data Centre and create a viable solution that would do an automatic failover and failback. We are a heavy user of Microsoft technology, and our discussions with LiveRoute, a Microsoft Gold Partner delivering Cloud-based solutions in the region, was the perfect fit to help us move into our Azure Cloud journey which also provides us with a strong Azure Disaster Recovery capability,” Mr.

    GEMS Wellington International School British Schools Overseas Inspection Report Inspection Dates: Monday 1 October – Wednesday 3 October, 2019 Lead Inspector: Jim Alexander Team: Pauline Barker Judith Tolley Jeremy Barnes Age Group: 3-18 Report Published: 17 October 2019 Purpose and scope of the inspection This inspection report follows the English Department for Education (DfE) Schedule for the inspection of British schools overseas. This inspection was carried out by four Education Development Trust inspectors who spent three days at the school. Education Development Trust is a body approved by the British Government for the purpose of inspecting schools overseas and quality assured by the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted). Education Development Trust is one of the world’s leading not-for-profit education companies, providing a range of education services in the UK and internationally. Education Development Trust employs over 2,500 staff worldwide, all working on projects relating to educational quality. To be recognised by the Department for Education, a British School Overseas must have an inspection report which shows that its performance against all the standards is at least satisfactory. This reflects the standards required for continuing registration as a school in England. Schools meeting the standards will have their inspection reports published on the Department's website and will be registered on Edubase. Inspectors report on the extent to which schools meet the relevant Standards for British Schools Overseas (BSO). These were updated with effect from September 2017. The inspection follows closely the framework for the inspection of independent schools in England but, where appropriate, also takes account of compliance with local regulations.
