My schools:

I attended Saints Peter and Paul Catholic High School in Widnes.

My favourite teacher:

My favourite teacher was Miss Woan from Saints Peter and Paul, she always encouraged me at school.

My favourite subject at school:

My favourite subject was PE, I was always into sport in a big way and loved spending all my spare time playing rugby or netball.

Were you streetwise or a bit of a geek?

I would say that I was very streetwise.

My favourite childhood singer/band:

I know not everyone will agree but my favourite band were the Spice Girls, I absolutely loved their music as a child.

My favourite extra-curricular activity:

I loved playing rugby and netball after school and I still carry on now even though I play rugby for St Helens Rugby League Club, I still find time to play and coach netball in the off season.

Do you remember your first school crush?

I can’t remember that far back!

My favourite book:

I didn’t read much as I didn’t have much time and was always playing sport, so possibly the first book I read was the first

Harry Potter book.

School dinners:

I loved a school dinner! My aunty worked in the kitchen so I always got an extra pudding.

My ambitions at school:

I always wanted to become a PE teacher and that is were I am now working as a team leader and lecturer in sport at Cronton Sixth Form College.
