Head of English

Lusi-Anna Wootton fosters a learning environment where students are encouraged to think critically and develop a genuine love for literature and the English language. As a leader in a large, diverse British school, she has gained extensive expertise in curriculum design and is particularly interested in shaping curricula that not only prepare students for academic success but also broaden their understanding of the world through literature.

Lusi-Anna is dedicated to elevating students’ learning experiences, ensuring they engage deeply, explore ideas, question perspectives, and develop their own voices. Her aim is for every student to leave her classroom with both strong academic outcomes and a lasting appreciation for the power and beauty of words.

Outside of the classroom, Lusi-Anna enjoys engaging with the arts, including cinema, theatre, reading, and spoken word. These interests enrich her teaching, allowing her to bring texts to life, model creative thinking, and inspire students to explore the broader cultural and artistic context of the literature they study. Her passion for the arts helps create a vibrant, stimulating learning environment where students can connect literature to the world around them.
