When did you join RGS Prep? September 2019

What’s the best thing about RGS Prep?  Seeing the boys every day – they are always full of energy and enthusiasm and it is contagious!

What excites you most about coming into work each day? No two days are the same and there’s always something new to challenge you.

If you could change your name to anything, what would it be? Mrs Elf

If you were allowed one dream perk, what would it be? Friday afternoons off whilst my children are still at school!  I could run around and get all the jobs done so that weekends were free to enjoy.

What luxury would you have on a desert island? My guitar

What’s your favourite film and why? ET – I’ve loved it since I saw it at the cinema when I was little and I still cry at the end!

What would your autobiography be entitled? There she goes…..

What food will you absolutely not, under any circumstances, eat? To be honest I’ll give most things a go but I’d have to draw the line at eyeballs – I couldn’t stomach the crunch followed by goo!

What’s your life philosophy/motto in life? ‘Seek to understand, not be understood’ (wise words from my dad when I was young) and ‘work hard, be nice’.
