Affiliations
- I am an ambitious and competitive person who actively participates and observes many sports. These include football, tennis and golf which I try to play once a week to an improving handicap, currently at 12. I also enjoy relaxing at home with my family and take great satisfaction in watching my children grow up in a supportive, loving and caring environment. I have a lovely family and my wife and I try to ensure the children are happy and always try their best. They support my work and are aware of their roles in presenting the family unit which we believe is so important for Head’s family. I enjoy being a Headmaster and the hard work and challenges it brings. I have strong beliefs that empowerment and teamwork are the key to running a successful school. We all work hard but then also enjoy our time together very much.
