A little about me …
I am from Northamptonshire From a town called Towcester and an outstanding school called
Sponne I teach Business and IT My wife teaches English at Corfe Hills I have three young children aged 8, 7 and 5, called Jack, Harry &
Olivia I was playing regular 1st team rugby until a few years ago and
now I play for the Vets I believe that education should be enjoyable, that students should
achieve to their full potential and give 100% effort
This summer Y11 got our best progress result ever …
1008 for this summer’s GCSE Progress results, which makes us top 5 for Dorset and in the top third of the country.
The best Upper School in this area for progress.
Our 6th form also did extremely well …
42% of the grades were A* to B grades ALPs scored our AS as ‘very good’ ALPs scored our BTEC as ‘outstanding’
So no matter what kind of course you choose, you will succeed.
