What is your role at Lucton?
What was your most and least favourite subject at school?
I’m Head of Boys’ Sport and also a School Cottage House Parent.
Sport was my favourite subject at school as I had a natural talent for it from a young age. I didn’t like maths because it never really clicked with me.
What are your hobbies? Playing and watching rugby, reading, watching TV, and gaming. My favourite games are FIFA 21, F1 and GTA 5. What led you to Lucton? I love the location and being surrounded by the countryside. What would it surprise people to know about you? I have actually played at 3 professional rugby pitches: Kingsholm (Gloucester), Sixways (Worcester), and Twickenham (England’s national stadium). If you could be anything in life what could you be? I would have to stick with rugby. I would love to be a professional rugby coach at either Exeter Chiefs or Bristol Bears. What are you most proud of in your career so far? I am particularly proud of establishing girls’ rugby at my previous school. What would like to achieve at Lucton? I would like to continuously produce a leaving cohort of students who have a love of sport! 3 8 / NEW S TA F F
I am a French teacher, Sixth Form tutor and I help out with sports, especially rugby.
What are your hobbies? Ever since I started rugby I’ve loved outdoor sports and I also played a lot of tennis when I was younger. I’ve recently taken up rock climbing. How are you enjoying Lucton? I am really enjoying it. I especially love the family spirit that the school has; everybody knows each other and, for me, that is one of the best parts about this school. If you could be anything in life what would it be? A politician. This is because I feel that I would be able to make a big difference for communities. What are you most proud of in your career so far? My rugby career. When I first started playing for France, I was the youngest player in the team and it’s one of my greatest achievements. What would you like to achieve at Lucton? My aim is to make sure that others succeed. I don’t need to personally achieve anything, it’s my students. If they succeed, then I succeed.
