Gavin Warke

My name is Mr. Warke, and I am a passionate and experienced teacher and school leader specialising in Modern Foreign Languages (MFL). With a diverse background in both UK and international educational settings, I bring a unique perspective and a wealth of knowledge to my role.

My love for the Spanish language drives me to inspire young minds and foster a lifelong appreciation for language learning. I have designed and delivered a high-quality curriculum for students from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 5, setting ambitious academic targets and creating a supportive learning environment that empowers students to surpass their potential and achieve outstanding results.

In addition to my classroom teaching and pastoral leadership, I serve as a Senior Examiner for the Spanish International A-Level, a role that allows me to bring up-to-date examination standards directly into the classroom.

This unique insight enables me to equip students with the precise skills, strategies, and understanding needed to succeed in high-stakes assessments, ensuring academic prowess and outstanding outcomes.

Recognised as a dynamic and innovative leader in MFL, I have consistently fostered creativity, collaboration, and curiosity across my department. I am committed to nurturing a culture of active engagement and personal growth, helping students develop not only as learners but as confident, resilient individuals.

My creative and professional approach to teaching is rooted in strong classroom routines, high standards, and an unwavering belief that every student can achieve excellence. I have also completed the National Professional Qualification for Senior Leadership (NPQSL), further strengthening my strategic leadership and capacity to drive whole-school improvement.

Whether in the classroom, through exam preparation, or as a pastoral leader, my goal is to inspire, challenge, and support every student to reach their full potential and to ensure they leave school with the knowledge, character, and confidence to thrive in whatever path they choose.
