As Nelson Mandela said: “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world”.
Marta has fourteen years of teaching experience and an extensive international background. In addition, she has always shown a great interest in continuous training. She has a degree in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences (I.N.E.F.) and also has a degree in Foreign Language Teaching (English) and Physical Education. She obtained her PhD in Sport Psychology in 2017. Marta’s professional career abroad for more than seven years has always focused on the international school environment of various curricula, where it is worth mentioning her experience of three years in a boarding school, “Christ’s Hospital” in West Sussex (England), two years in “Oeiras International School” located in Lisbon (Portugal) and another two years in the “International School of London”. The last four years Marta has developed her professional career within the leadership teams at the International School of London and now back in Spain, at Hastings School in Madrid.
On a more personal level, Marta focused her PhD on Sport Psychology, her area of specialisation being research on the impact of motivational climates, well-being and performance of young people. In addition to her career in teaching, in different environments, it is also worth mentioning her enormous love for sport, where she has had a very successful career. Among many other milestones, it is worth highlighting Marta’s representation of Spain as an international U-19 football player.
One of her constant goals has always been to help young people develop their strengths and inspire them to achieve their infinite potential, both in education and in sport. Marta is passionate about travelling to learn about different cultures, reading and investing as much time as she can in sharing leisure time with her friends and family.
“The future is changing and I am confident that we are preparing our students incredibly well for what is to come: we do this by focusing on respect, tolerance, friendship, character development and achieving excellent academic results”.
Since completing her studies in Economics at the University of Southampton, Sarah has developed an extensive career in education with a PGCE in Modern Foreign Languages and an MA in Educational Leadership. Her early career has been international, living abroad in both Turkey and Mexico until 2014, when she took up her first position as Headteacher of a school in Hampshire, England, called Meoncross. This experience has allowed her to develop team management skills and broaden her knowledge of all aspects of international schools and education. Sarah is multilingual in English, French, Spanish and German.
In 2018 Sarah joined TEMS as Principal and so far her work has been based on two main pillars: ensuring the highest quality standards in the school, as well as always establishing open and honest communication with the whole school community.
