James Bleach

My name is James Bleach, and I am proud to serve as the Head of Subject for Design and Technology and the Innovation Coordinator at GESS. My academic journey began with a BA (Hons) in Primary Education, followed by a PGCE in Secondary Design and Technology in the UK. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of leading numerous departments across the UK, which sparked my passion for innovation in education. This experience inspired me to establish a teaching resource business, deliver keynote presentations at national and international events, and consult schools on designing and developing cutting-edge D&T spaces. Most recently prior to GESS, I’ve contributed to impactful projects at Tanglin Trust School in Singapore and Sherborne School in Qatar, further deepening my commitment to fostering creativity and innovation in education.
