He started his teaching career at Dr Challoner's Grammar School and subsequently an Assistant Headship at the Royal Latin School in Buckingham. As a keen sportsman, he values the importance of physical activity on mental health and wellbeing and this provision at RGS was one of the factors that drew him to our school. Respect, integrity and aspiration are values that he feels passionately about and embodies innovation at every opportunity.
