  My name is Warren Townsend I am the new Head of the High School at Marina. I am
  originally from South Africa and have worked internationally since 2007. My career has
  included vice principal in South Africa, head of school In Nigeria as well as head of
  secondary and whole school deputy principal in Oman. I hold a Bachelor of Arts Degree and
  Higher Diploma in Education from the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa and a
  Masters in Educational Leadership and Management from the University of Bath in the
  United Kingdom. My goals are academic excellence, holistic pastoral care, and extra--

  curricular success.

  My successes include raising the academic standards at all the schools that I have been a part
  of which the most notable was a 100% A* to C average in the IGCSE in Nigeria where I
  set up the secondary school of an already existing primary school from scratch. This was
  followed by a significant improvement in the A* to C average in Oman, increasing it from
  20% to 60% over a period of 2 years. My intention is to take the academic success that has
  already been created at Marina International School and improve the results each year in
  Checkpoints, IGCSE, and A Levels. I have also achieved great success in the pastoral
  aspects of each school, of which, the project at my previous international position saw the
  most impact. This project included creating a program that saw much greater care for each
  student’s well-being in each year group and a significant improvement in their 21st-century
  skills acquisition. I want to bring all these outcomes to Marina students as well
  My interests do not only lie within the classroom setting but I have also successfully
  choreographed and directed six major school stage musical productions and run multiple
  dance competitions. I have trained the prefects from 20 schools within Nigeria for 7 years and
  run the extra-curricular program for the whole of Lagos, Nigeria to ensure league
  competitions were possible between international schools. I also assisted in organizing a
  country-wide conference in Nigeria for all school leaders and educators, hosting international
  speakers and school service providers. In Oman, my focus was on creating outstanding
  school/parent relationships where all opinions and concerns were valued and acted upon.
  While in South Africa I worked with adults who had not yet completed their schooling and
  managed to ensure each of them achieved above 60% in their final exams. This was one of
  my greatest achievements as under-privileged graduates could now secure better jobs for their

  futures.

  My passions include running, playing guitar, and spending time with my children. I have 2
  boys aged 10 and 14 who currently reside in the UK. In addition to this, I enjoy learning about
  new cultures and immersing myself in them to experience their richness and diversity.
  I look forward to making Marina International School the best that it can be in everything we
  take on. As parents, you will soon see the wonderful results that Marina will achieve, making

  us the number one choice of school within The Gambia.
