Staff Profile

I have been Headteacher at KES now for just over 9 years, having always worked in Essex secondary schools.  I started out teaching Maths at Castle View School on Canvey Island and then moved on to the role of Head of Maths at West Hatch High School in Chigwell.  I have subsequently worked as a senior leader in two schools before joining KES in 2010 as Head.

Throughout my teaching career I have been passionate about learning and working with children to help them achieve the very best they possibly can.  Our ethos of wanting and expecting our students to achieve their ‘Personal Best’ comes from my passion to see students always moving forward in every aspect of their lives, both in and out of school.  I am equally passionate about Maths, my first love in terms of school subjects, but I do understand that not everyone feels the same way!

I am a father of three with my youngest in her first year at university; I have just become a grandfather and am really enjoying the fun of that, with the bonus of being able to hand him back at the end of the day!
