Mr Jim Cook (JAC)
I gained an Honours degree in Biology at York University, and then moved to Nottingham to do a PGCE at the University here. I joined the High School way back in 1979 and became Head of Department in 1994.
I have been lucky enough to embark on many expeditions with the school, both in the UK and abroad, and organise the Gold D. of E. qualifying expedition to the Cheviots. I am a tutor in Maples' House, a Year 12 form teacher, and am in charge of the Third XV rugby team.
