Simon studied Economics, British Government & Politics, Statistics and General Studies at the College. After finishing his studies he attended Leeds Metropolitan University studying a BSc(hons) in Building Surveying from 1992-1996 and the University of Ulster (MSc in Sports Science) graduated in 2000. 

Simon is now back where it all started, having joined the teaching staff at the College in 2006. Simon teachers PE and is the Master i/c of Rugby. He loves being part of a very experienced and passionate department at the College. 

Memories of his time at the College:

I was incredibly fortunate to have so many good teachers. All the work of the PE staff and coaches meant a lot to me and so many other lads in my year. Success breeds success.

Brother Power was great and used to challenge me a lot. I was a member of Wirral Golf Club and he played there too. He used to shout “boy in a man’s body” when I hit the ball out of bounds. Easy to do at Wirral GC! He taught me to think strategically and plan my sport more, without ever really knowing he taught me a lot about the psychology of sport.

Jean Murphy was amazing and gave me the confidence to read in public and challenge things. She really was a special person and inspirational.

In sixth form Tony Gynn was a brilliant teacher and the trip to London and the Houses of Parliament was incredible. Sadly taken from us way too young.
