About me
I started teaching over 20 years ago and have worked in both the state and independent sector, as well as abroad in New Zealand. In that time, I have been a Housemaster and Deputy Head (Pastoral) before becoming Head of Maths in what is my second stint at Pangbourne. I am now the Deputy Head Pastoral here at the College. I enjoy all manner of sports, travel, skiing, mountaineering and chess. I am fortunate that many of these passions can be pursued at Pangbourne and that I can introduce pupils to them.
Why do I love teaching Mathematics?
Maths is the language of the universe.
My other roles at Pangbourne are:
- Maths teacher
- Rowing coach
- Rugby coach
- Tutor
- Ski Trip Coordinator
- DofE Supervisor & Assessor
If I hadn't been a teacher I would have been...
Ski Instructor or Paramedic
My role model is...
Alwyn Williams - Former Headmaster, Wairarapa College, New Zealand
I would describe Pangbourne as...
Worth coming back to.
