students being more focused and interested and<br />
clearly want to be here. The college has a very good<br />
reputation in the wider community which encourages<br />
students to come here and do well.<br />
Why did you decide to be a teacher?<br />
I failed the intelligence test to be a milkman.<br />

with new challenges. I also like getting to know<br />
everyone and finding out about their lives.<br />
“I failed the<br />
intelligence test to<br />
be a milkman.”<br />
What are you most looking forward to this<br />
academic year?<br />
I am looking forward to finding my feet and<br />
establishing myself as part of the<br />
college…and…Christmas!<br />
What do you do when you are<br />
not teaching?<br />
I like to spend time with my kids,<br />
normally stopping them from fighting. I play Call of<br />
Duty and Football Manager online but I never go<br />
out, not when I have three small children to look<br />
after.<br />
