Lewis Butterworth
Joined Wellington College International Shanghai in August 2018
I couldn’t have made a better choice for my first overseas teaching post. Wellington College China has clearly defined values, world class resources and an ambition to be the very best. As soon as I stepped foot on campus, I knew that I had made the right decision.
Teaching in a Wellington classroom is extremely rewarding. I feel trusted to push boundaries and experiment with my practice, which makes this the perfect environment for professional growth. After teaching for a year in the Lower Prep school at WCIS, I was presented with an exciting opportunity to apply for the Head of Year role. This position propelled me into school leadership and is a challenge that I am thoroughly enjoying. I am extremely supported by senior leadership and I am grateful for the CPD opportunities that Wellington organises to support my growth.
Because of Wellington, I am a better teacher and leader. I look forward to an exciting future with the organisation.
