Responsibilities at school: Principal - which really means being responsible for everything!
Years Teaching: 23 years (ouch that makes me feel old!). Seven years New Zealand teaching and sixteen in the UK.
My professional interests: My Maths and Psychology background has meant I have always been interested in Brain Research and Cognitive Education (Thinking Skills). How we learn best using different cognitive tools.
Things I really enjoy about my job: School is such a happy and energising place, full of creative, interesting and exciting people, staff and children.
Favourite Food: The hardest question...I love my food! Indian food is fantastic, pasta is wonderful but it is hard to beat a perfect medium rare steak with a glass of fine red wine!
Favourite Colour: Red
When not at school I enjoy: Relaxing with my family (although relaxing is a somewhat subjective term when you have 4 children at home!)
My Favourite Holiday would be: Somewhere warm, by the sea with time to read, relax and think about absolutely nothing!
I always wanted to be: A professional footballer for my hometown team Liverpool.
I am passionate about: Our wonderful planet, my family; my friends and Liverpool Football Club
Famous for: Knowing useless bits of trivia
If I could invite three people from history to dinner they would be: Bill Shankly, Dawn French, Sir Winston Churchill (if fictional characters were allowed I'd invite Inspector Morse)
