UAE, July 2024: Bright Capital investment is thrilled to congratulate Sir Keir Starmer on being elected as the U.K.'s new Prime Minister. As an alumnus of Reigate Grammar School in London (1974-1981), Sir Keir's achievements fills us with immense pride.
During his visits in 2016 and 2019 to Reigate Grammar School, Sir Keir Starmer – Prime Minister – United Kingdom, said“Reigate Grammar School provided me with an ideal platform to discover myself and explore my potential. I was lucky to have some inspirational teachers and a wide range of opportunities and experiences which fostered my love for academia, sport, and music. We were encouraged to debate, think in a creative and critical way, and to find solutions to problems. I am very fortunate to have been given this start in life and attend an outstanding school and to be a member of the Reigatian community.”
Esref Temel, Managing Director at Bright Capital Investment, said:“We are delighted and proud to congratulate Sir Keir Starmer on being elected as the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. We are honored to bring the prestigious Reigate Grammar School's UK branch to the UAE and are excited about the world-class quality of education that will benefit the future leaders of the United Arab Emirates and beyond. Besides offering an excellent academic program, Reigate focuses on the overall development of its students, helping them thrive in real life, pushing their limits to become world leaders.”
Sean Davey, Global Business Director of Reigate Grammar School International said,“Huge congratulations to Sir Keir Starmer for becoming the new UK Prime Minister. An outstanding achievement for this former Reigate Grammar School pupil in reaching the top.”
“As part of our vision, we aim to help educate young people to be the leaders the world needs with better answers to the biggest questions facing our planet. Indeed, the newly elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is a former RGS pupil and recipient of a major bursary to ensure he realised his potential. Like Sir Keir, all students will benefit from leadership training and the art of communication. Also, charity and community engagement are at the heart of character development and will be an important part of their personal development within our school community.”
“Students (and staff) themselves need to drive inter-school activities and be creative with the opportunities they will have to bring students together. Enabling all students to become great communicators and collaborators, public speaking and teamwork will be taught explicitly.”
