Craig Arnold

Head of English

BA Hons., PGCE

After completing my BA (Hons) in English and Creative Writing at John Moore’s University, I then went on to attain my English PGCE from the globally-renowned Institute of Education, University of London.

I have been teaching for almost ten years. I first spent two years teaching within a public school in London, catering to many students with varying academic needs and abilities. After this experience, I then decided to embark on my journey to China. Firstly, for one year in a boarding school on the outskirts of Guangzhou before moving to Shanghai where I have spent six wonderful years leading, developing and implementing the middle school English curriculum.

I want to provide my students with a means of broadening their way of thinking, expressing themselves, supporting them whilst they strive for greatness, to challenge themselves and the world around them. I want to be able to remove the stigma attached to Shakespeare and show that, despite being written hundreds of years ago, it is still as relevant and relatable as ever!
