Head of College - Drakelow

Favourite subject at school

Naturally, I enjoyed all the Arts and PE—I was always eager to perform or compete in any way possible! However, I also had a great appreciation for PSRHE and history. I have a keen interest in people, and exploring historical figures and events truly intrigues me. For instance, I would love to have a time machine to visit the Victorian era and stroll through the streets of London, or to appear behind William of Normandy's archers at the Battle of Hastings!

Hobbies

I truly enjoy participating in a variety of activities and believe it's something everyone should embrace! I encourage everyone to get involved in as much as they can, as I believe it really shapes who you are. Whether it's sports, shows, charity events, or any other challenges, there's always something to gain. Personally, I ran the London Marathon to raise money for a breast cancer charity, and I'm always the first to dive into the water at the beach, whether it's for surfing, swimming, or paddle boarding.

About me

After graduating from university in Oxford, I moved to Europe and worked as an entertainer for Thomas Cook Holidays. This role took me to sunny destinations like Portugal and snowy locales such as Lapland. My family hails from Shropshire; interestingly, my late grandfather invented the pork scratching, and my late grandmother was a pioneer in teaching students with another language. I now reside in a quaint village near Bridgnorth with my wife, Lucy, and our little daughter, Darla.
