Why did you apply to teach at Friends’ School Saffron Walden?
My university tutor was a Quaker and I was impressed by him and when this job came up I just knew that it was right for me as I particularly wanted to work in a school with a Christian foundation. Friends’ School has a soul and that is very important to me.
Have you taught any notable pupils?
A pupil that I am very proud to have taught is Martha Holmes who went on to produce a number of BBC wildlife programmes, including
Sea Trek and
Life in the Freezer.
There are many other pupils that I have taught who have gone on to do great things. I have always had an interest in the medical aspects of Biology and several pupils I have taught have become doctors. I have had recent contact with one who is an eminent eye consultant and another who is a brain surgeon. Many others email me to let me know they now have PhDs. Some make a lot of money but many have very worthwhile and caring careers and I can’t help feeling that they have been influenced by their Friends’ School experience.
