Background

About Andrew Wynn

I am a highly experience secondary school teacher who is extremely lucky to be able to blend my love of teaching and working with young people with my love for sport, the outdoors and military. A little clichéd but learning is not confined to the classroom and my job gives me the opportunity to work with young people to nurture them to achieve their true potential, helping to guide them to develop themselves through their experiences be it through games, hobbies, activities, clubs or service. In addition I am able to bring my military experience, particularly working with cadets where I have been a Contingent Commander of a large (400+) Combined Cadet Force encompassing all three Services and Chair of the South East (Surrey, Sussex and Kent) ACF and CCF Association, to further encourage young people to carefully explore outside their comfort zones whilst developing teamwork and leadership skills to take into their future lives. I have a wealth of experience within secondary education as an academic teacher, sports coach, outdoor pursuits instructor and cadet force instructor. Amongst the educational roles and positions I have held have been, Head of Academic Department teaching GCSE and A level, Director of Sport, Boarding Housemaster and Head of Middle School (Yrs 9, 10 and 11). In addition to all of this I have also been a registered company secretary. Since going to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst on leaving school I have had an almost unbroken link with the army (and armed forces in general) and am proud to be able to combine what I have learnt from both the military and civilian arenas. I’m told my presenting skills are excellent and that I can judge an audience extremely quickly, adjusting the delivery to suit. I practice what I preach. Having been a climber, mountaineer (summer and winter), decent rugby player, gymnast and cricketer I am now heavily involved in triathlon (mainly long course/Ironman) and mountain biking. Having begun with a cliché I shall unashamedly finish with one; I am a firm believer in the maxim: healthy body, healthy mind.
