Jonathan HUTCHINGS (left in 1998)

Jonathan Hutchings arrived at Haberdashers' in September 1993 having graduated from Oxford University. He made an impressive start to his teaching career, demonstrating an exceptional flair for communicating his enthusiasm to his pupils, and an eager eye for novel ways of presenting his lessons. His organisational skills have been the envy of other Biologists.

Jonathan has also made full use of his sporting skills, and in particular has been the coach of Under 15 Hockey from the time of his arrival until now. He has also been a great asset to the C.C.F., as an officer in the Navy Section where he has been involved in a vast range of camps and courses with cadets - including a survival course with the Army during the last year.

During the past three years, he has been responsible for the running of the Science Society, steering it through a fresh period of growth to outstanding success; and also getting teams of pupils to enter (and win) a number of national science competitions. Jonathan has taken up a wide range of other sports in his own time, including skiing and aqualung diving - so that he is often more tanned than many pupils at the start of each school term!

Jonathan is moving on to a post at The King's School, Canterbury, where we are sure he will be able to pursue his diverse range of interests.
