Teaching staff

Teaching staff at Gateways are well qualified and collectively have a wealth of teaching experience. But more than this, they also often bring their own life experiences to their teaching. For example, Preparatory School Music teacher, Mrs Davies, brings her knowledge from performing with symphony orchestras to her work with school bands and choirs. Dr Newton contributes her extensive laboratory experience, acquired when undertaking her PhD, when teaching her physics and biology classes.
