Simon Tibke

Simon has been a qualified teacher since 2010 and has taught in three different secondary schools across Coventry, Warwickshire, and Birmingham, ranging from Year 7 – 13, and in both single sex and co-educational settings.

Simon joined RFSS in September 2021 as the Director of Learning for Mathematics and progressed to a role on the senior leadership team with responsibility for whole school improvement in Quality Assurance. Simon is now responsible for Key Stage 4 Outcomes and Interventions from the start of the 25/26 academic year.

Simon’s extensive middle leadership experience has enabled him to drive up standards in maths departments wherever he has been, and this continued in his first senior management role as a coach, and source of support to other middle leaders to maximum their efficiency and effectiveness, so that standards are high across the school in all areas. Simon completed his NPQSL qualification during the 2022/23 academic year, and this supported him in improving whole school Quality Assurance standards and is now an important reference point as he aims to maintain strong outcomes at Key Stage 4 for RFSS.

Simon’s key role however is as a husband, and as a father of 3 young children. With any “spare” time, Simon enjoys spending time participating in sport, particularly cricket in the summer, and during the winter months, pursuing my hobby of football refereeing and following Everton FC.
