Matthew Flower
Year 12 Leader
I am from Arundel, a small medieval market town in West Sussex. I graduated from the University of Warwick with a Frist Class BSc (Hons) degree in Biological Sciences.
I started my teaching journey through Teach Frist, a charity which aims to address educational disadvantage in England and Wales through the participation in a two-year training programme that involves the completion of a PGDE along with a master’s degree in Educational Leadership. Before moving to Dubai I spent 6 years at a British Boarding school on the South East coast of England where I was Deputy Housemaster and Assistant Head for the whole school.
During my spare time I enjoy playing golf and am looking to (hopefully!) lower his handicap on the courses in Dubai. I am also a keen traveller and love to visit new countries to experience different cultures.
