I’ve been involved in Primary and Nursery education since the mid-1980s, first as Director of Music in two prep schools in the southwest of England and then in a large London day school. From there I moved into prep school headship as headmaster of a school in Melrose in the heart of the Scottish Borders. After 12 happy years there, we moved to East Anglia in England where I was headteacher of a traditional boarding prep school, and then head of the prep and pre-prep departments of a large all-through independent school in Suffolk.
My desire to work in a school environment where creativity and the development of pupils’ learning skills were embedded in the DNA of the curriculum, and where kindness and ambition underpinned the school’s values, led me to look at Nord Anglia, and eventually BSB Sanlitun! It was an easy decision when I was offered the chance to lead this wonderful school.
Out of school, you’re most likely to find me either hacking my way round a golf course, following the fortunes of the England cricket and rugby teams, or trying to compose a musical extravaganza for a school production!
