Lifelong Learning and Personal Growth
Charles Baker
Secondary English Teacher (KS2/KS3)
Madinaty
Summary
I am a dedicated educator with nine years of experience teaching the British curriculum across both primary and secondary education. After teaching a broad range of subjects in primary, with a strong focus on English, I transitioned into a specialist role in secondary English at Key Stage 3. Passionate about student development and evidence-based teaching, I am now eager to step into a leadership role where I can support both the academic and pastoral growth of my students.
