Date you started with the company – November 2023.
Schools you work in – Shepton Mallet Infants, Springmead Preparatory, Coxley Primary, Bishop Henderson Primary.
What is the best activity to teach? The best activity for me personally is football, just because I’ve grown up on it, and I’ve got the most experience in it for me, with all the sports.
What is the best thing about teaching? For me, it’s just seeing the kids have a smile on their face, sometimes it’s a chance for them to escape other subjects that they might not be as good at, but PE is one that they can thrive in and when they enjoy it and develop, that’s what I like to see.
What makes you happy at work? When they get something out of my lessons, whether its development or hopefully enjoyment, seeing them improve because their success feels like my success as well.
What do you look forward to on a work day? Now I’m in my schools regularly, seeing the children that you have built a relationship with, and them having a good session.
What teaching moment stands out to you? Probably, when I first started working at Millfield and I was able to take my own session. It just felt like everything was coming together.
What is your favourite activity at our Active Camps? I think it’s got to be the dodgeball because they are so many different games and things you can do with dodgeball.
What is your guilty pleasure TV show? Modern Family.
What is your go to karaoke song? Mr Brightside.
What’s you go to film? There’s so many that I love watching, I can’t think of just one. I really love any of the Planet of the Apes films.
What’s your favourite board game? Monopoly.
Which team member do you think is most likely to be an undercover secret agent? James Tostevin.
If our team came to your place for dinner, what would you cook? I would do Hunters chicken I think.
What is your favourite thing we do as a company? The PPA Cover we offer, as I am able to teach a variety of sports to the future generation.
