Favourite subject at school

English.  I had an amazing teacher who I will never forget.  I wonder why I went on to teach science?

Hobbies

Cricket, golf, skiing (how amazing to be the headteacher of a school with its own ski slope!) playing guitar (not very well), oil painting, cooking, gardening, reading and recently I have taken up cycling on a road bike.

About me:

I am married with 3 children (2 girls and a boy) who attend university and a local high school. I am an all-rounder who loves anything sporty or outdoors.  I love getting involved in the activities around school and I am always amazed at the talents of young people.

I have a great sense of humour and thoroughly enjoy being in and out of lessons, witnessing the fun and achievement that students experience every day.  I think being a headteacher is all about sharing the joys of learning alongside all our students and staff, rather than just being the boss!
