Chris is Assistant Headteacher at Cranbrook School, with a responsibility for Lower School (Years 7-11) and Teaching & Learning.

“I have worked in education for 18 years, having graduating from Exeter University and spending a couple of years working in finance and public relations, before undertaking teacher training. My background is as a teacher of English, with significant experience in pastoral development (including transition, safeguarding, celebration and behaviour management). I passionately believe that happy students are keen to learn and achieve their potential. Such happiness is built on a school community, with characteristically supportive and strong relationships between children, parents, carers, teachers and support staff.”

“I am a keen sportsman and enjoy cycling, hockey and running when my legs allow it.”
