I have been at Aboyne Primary School for almost four years. This for me is something of a record – normally by year three, I am leaving. This time though, the school, the people I work with, the children I teach and the area we live have all colluded to keep me here. Having recently bought a house in the area it looks like I am here for a while longer. When I am not teaching I enjoy reading, science fiction in particular; walking though not as much as I should; and playing video games, rather more than I should… I am married to a very patient wife and father to a great son.
