Ali Baxter

Since graduating from Cardiff Metropolitan University in June 2024 with a 2:2 in Sport Management I have spent 6 months in Australia playing cricket and coaching tennis. On my return, I worked a Summer Term at Rupert House before starting as a Boarding Graduate Assistant in September 2025 at Farleigh Prep School near Andover. I am a good all-rounder with a caring and sensible outlook, and I have a great deal of experience of coaching sport to younger age groups.

I have completed 2 summers working at Camps in America as well as previously working for a term as a live in Gap Student at The Oratory Prep School and 2 terms at Rupert House School. I am a Level 2 tennis coach and have Level 1 ECB cricket coaching qualification. I would like to continue to be involved with Primary classroom teaching and sports coaching and ideally would love to continue to teach alongside gaining my PGCE qualification.
