As the Head of Mowden Hall, I have the great honour of not only supporting your child to reach their potential, but I am supported by the incredible staff that work here. Whilst ensuring the children achieve the best possible academic education, I am keenly aware that children learn when they are happy. Fostering a strong community culture, where children also have opportunities to develop on the sports field, in the woods and on stage is what I hope to bring.
My two children (Isabelle and William) attend Mowden, whilst my wife out-shines us all as a Consultant Obstetrician in Gateshead. We live close to Mowden and spend as much time outside as we can on the hills, fields or in the garden.
I take responsibility for life outside the classroom at Mowden Hall; ensuring that pupils have access to a full and varied co-curricular programme and that our boarding provision is of the highest possible standard. I live onsite in the Private side of the Main House with my wife, Rachael, and our three children, Teddy, Will & Zoe.
I am the Deputy Headteacher, Academic and Staffing, responsible for the progress of all our students and the successful transition to their chosen destination Schools. I live on site with my wife Hannah, our three children, Stanley, Albert and Ralph, and our Labrador Chilli.
As a Biologist I have a passion for teaching about the natural world and family life is usually in the great outdoors; be it walking, camping, running or playing sports.
I am delighted to have been appointed the Assistant Head (Pastoral) at Mowden. I strongly believe that the pastoral care of the pupils is the most important part of being a teacher. Ensuring that the children feel safe, happy and cared for will result in them reaching their full potential both academically and emotionally.
I continue to be Head of History and my passion for this subject remains strong. I live on site with my partner, Helen, and our two girls, Charlotte and Bethan.
Working at Mowden Hall is an absolute pleasure. The Pre-Prep has a fun, happy and vibrant atmosphere where our children thrive in a supportive and collaborative environment. Children who leave Mowden Pre-Prep are rounded individuals who are well prepared for an exciting future on the next stage of their educational journey.
As Head of Operations at Mowden Hall School, I oversee the day-to-day running of the school site, ensuring smooth and efficient operations across all departments. A key member of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT), I play a strategic role in supporting the school’s vision and delivering a safe, well-managed environment where staff and pupils can thrive. Outside of work, I enjoy the great outdoors and have found a deep fondness for the Northumberland countryside, which offers the perfect escape.
