Getting to Know... 

Andrew Whitby

What is your favourite food? 

Burgers.

What is your favourite movie and why?

Cool Runnings because it's an inspiring true story.  

Tea or coffee?  

Tea (not a coffee drinker).

Do you have any pets? 

Yes I have a blue heeler dog named Molly that I'm pretty obsessed with as I love dogs. She was a rescue dog that my partner and I have had for nine years now.

What inspired you to work in education? 

Having fantastic teachers as a child that helped shape who am I today made me want to have the opportunity to do the same for other children. 

Is there anything you do regularly to promote mental and physical wellbeing? 

Exercising regularly, usually in the form of playing tennis or going to the gym. 

On a rainy day, I like to...

Play chess. I have recently gotten pretty addicted to online chess so when the weather is no good for tennis, I'll probably be playing chess.

What are you most proud of?  

The positive impact I've been able to have on my students. 

Do you have any special talents that would surprise us? 

During covid lockdowns I taught myself several skills including juggling, doing a handstand and balancing stuff on my nose. 

What are you enjoying most about your role at ENPS? 

I love seeing kids enjoy being active, working together as a team and learning new skills!
