Mr O’Malley - Head of English<br />
How have you found the school so far?<br />
I have really enjoyed it so far. There’s a lot to<br />
do, but I feel like I am getting settled.<br />
Why did you want to work here?<br />
I got a good feeling when I visited previously.<br />
I also think that I can help to make things<br />
better in my own way.<br />
What is your favourite thing about the<br />
school?<br />
I like the pupils. They can be rowdy, but<br />
rarely disrespectful.<br />
What is the hardest thing about being a<br />
teacher?<br />
The marking. It takes up so much of your<br />
time that you have to sacrifice your own<br />
hobbies and interests to make sure you do<br />
it well.<br />
How has your experience with the students<br />
been so far?<br />
Really positive, overall. I think most students<br />
have taken me quite well.<br />
What has been your best experience<br />
throughout your career?<br />
I had a Year 8 class that were incredibly<br />
tough and I dreaded seeing them at times.<br />
Four years later, I saw the same group<br />
picking up grades above their expectations<br />
and thanking me for sticking with them.<br />
What’s your favourite food?<br />
Curry.<br />
If you had to write a book what would the<br />
title be?<br />
“I was forced to write this book when I<br />
should have been marking.”<br />
Who would play you in the film?<br />
I don’t know; maybe James McAvoy.<br />
What’s your favourite sport?<br />
Boxing.<br />
What’s the last tune you played?<br />
I am currently trying to learn ‘Master Of<br />
Puppets’ by Metallica on my guitar, if that<br />
counts?<br />
McDonalds or KFC?<br />
KFC.<br />
If you had the world’s attention for 30<br />
seconds what would you say?<br />
Don’t waste time worrying about what other<br />
people think of you; do what makes you<br />
happy, as long as it does not hurt others.<br />
If you had to work but didn’t need the<br />
money what would you choose to do?<br />
I’d still teach. I might do it part-time though.<br />
Take out the bins or do the washing up?<br />
Take out the bins.<br />
Scone or scon(e)?<br />
Scone with a long ‘o’ sound.<br />
Do you have a quote you live by?<br />
Love all, trust a few, do wrong to no one.<br />
What is your favourite joke?<br />
Two fish are in a tank.<br />
One turns to the other and says:<br />
“Well, don’t look at me! I’m not driving!”<br />
