We are delighted to welcome David Baldwin, into his new role as Group CEO.

Since joining Cognita in 2018, David has held senior leadership roles across the UK and Middle East, partnering closely with our schools and communities. His strong leadership in the Middle East spanning 14 schools and more than 23,000 students, alongside his deep expertise in K–12 education, made him the standout choice to lead the group into its next exciting chapter.

David Baldwin, Group CEO, Cognita, commented: “It is an enormous privilege to step into this role, for which I am incredibly proud and grateful. For more than twenty years, education has been my passion and life’s work and over that time, I have seen first-hand the brilliant things people do every single day to help schools truly thrive. I am excited to build on the strong foundations, help our schools focus their energy on what matters most – the students, and build a culture where people feel trusted, supported, and proud of the difference they make.”

We look forward to this exciting new chapter under his leadership.

What should learners know about using AI responsibly?

From our discussions with students from Repton Dubai and Royal Grammar School Guildford Dubai, we can see a strong emphasis on understanding how to use AI to support learning without letting it do the thinking for them.

It’s also encouraging to see Cognita students reflect positively on Flint, an AI tool we have strategically partnered with to lead personalised learning. By helping students reach their own conclusions, Flint shows how AI can support teachers and empower learners to thrive in a digitally driven world.

Investment in our digital leaders is an investment in the future of our schools.” - Conall Mac Loingsigh, Digital Learning Advisor, Europe and USA

Last week, at our Europe & USA Digital Leaders’ Conference 2026 at Pearson’s Headquarters in London, colleagues came together for a day of collaboration, shared learning and meaningful conversation around inclusion and digital leadership.

From inclusive learning design to the role of AI in adaptive teaching, the conference highlighted how technology can act as a bridge to better learning outcomes across our schools.

Thank you to all the event speakers and organisers, and a special shout out to Pearson for hosting the event.

Brighton College (Singapore) has reached an exciting milestone with the launch of its new Sixth Form, opening to students in August 2026!

This development completes the school’s all through pathway, giving students the opportunity to continue their education through to A levels and preparation for university. At the launch event earlier this month, families learned more about the academic and pastoral approach that will guide the Sixth Form and explored the range of subjects that will be available.

Since opening for pupils up to Year 4 in August 2020, we’re proud to work with our partners at Brighton College and Brighton College International to see this award-winning school go from strength to strength. We look forward to offering families in Singapore the option for their children to enjoy an all through Brighton College experience later this year.
