Head of College - Drakelow

Favourite subject at school

Well, of course, I enjoyed all the Arts and PE - I was always there for anything or anyway perform or compete! However, I also really enjoyed PSRHE and history. I have a keen interest in people and exploring people of past really intrigued me, for instance, I would love a time machine to visit the Victorian era and walk through the streets of London or to turn up behind William of Normandy's Archers at the Battle of Hastings! 

Hobbies

I really enjoy taking part in anything, I feel it is something we all need to do! I encourage everyone to take part in everything they can as I believe it really shapes who you are. Whether that be sports, shows, charity events or any challenges. Personally, I ran the London marathon in April raising money for a Breast Cancer charity and I am the first to get into the water if anywhere near a beach, whether that be surfing , swimming or paddle boarding. 

About me

Following graduating from university in Oxford , I moved to Europe and worked as an entertainer for Thomas Cook holidays, working in hot destinations like Portugal and snowy places on like Lapland. My family all come from Shropshire , interestingly my late grandfather invented the pork scratching and my late grandmother was the first to teach students with another language. I now live in a little village near Bridgnorth with my wife Lucy and little daughter Darla.
