How long have you been at Edge Grove?
Nearly 2 years. I joined in September 2019.
What did you do before joining Edge Grove?
I worked for 2 years at the Prep school I went to as a child.
What do you love most about your job?
In PE/Games it is really rewarding to see the children improve their skills, enjoy the lessons and work as a team. In Boarding, I really enjoy seeing the boarders having fun and learning to become more independent whilst being away from home.
What do you love most about Edge Grove?
I love working in the PE/Games department and particularly (when we get back to normal) Wednesday and Thursday match days. There's nothing quite like it!
Who is your favourite colleague and why?
I love working with everyone here at Edge Grove and especially all those who are in the Games department but there are a few names I should mention. Mr. Eglinton being my car park buddy first thing in the morning and at the end of the day, as well as being my Elf buddy for Christmas. Mr. Rodwell-Davies for our Wednesday and Friday afternoon Games sessions and badminton partner. Mr. McManus for letting me always beat him at badminton (and for being my boss). Miss. Hughes for the evening duties up in the boarding house. Miss. Bonnick during the first lockdown and Miss. Evans for our PE lessons together!
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
I'm happy being back home on the farm.
What is your biggest fear? Not enjoying my job! What did you want to be when you were little?
A professional golfer.
