Potted History of Glen Gilchrist
Bio
Back in the day, as is vogue to say I part owened / ran / did the techie stuff for a small internet business selling flash memory — this was when a 16Mb Compact Flash card was the business.
I did the web stuff and took care of the techincal side of things. But I had a secret.
When I did my degree (1999), I did a concurrent PGCE – I wanted to be a teacher so badly – (probably something to do with my Physics teacher – Wendy Kidd, hello) – but I was sponsored by AvON Rubber, so took the easy option after graduation and went to work for them.
I returned to teaching in 2004, and am currently Head of Science at Newport High School - a position and school that I thououghly love. The position, as it allows me to directly influcence the educational direction of a whole institution, plus enjoying the learners in the classroom AND the school / senior leadership for providing an inspriational and supportive place to work.
Personally, I want to cut through all the layers of junk that we are obliged to teach these days and to find a way of connecting with our young people that actually makes a long term difference to their lives. Sounds like a mission statement or a manifesto promise doesn’t it?

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book. It has been compiled and recompiled many times and under many different editorships. It contains contributions from countless numbers of travellers and researchers."
