Bio
Barry Cooper
Robin, in the time I have worked with him has been a teacher of History, Maths, English, Geography and more. He has been a deputy and led from the front displaying the character and good grace that have become his stock in trade. He is equally at home with year three as he is with a board of governors and I know we, his colleagues were very sorry to see him leave in 2017. Never flustered or floundering, Robin is a cool head in a profession that can tumultuous and chaotic on the best of days. I would happily work with or for him again and I know dozens more would say the same.
Angel Vilchez - MBA
I worked with Robin from August 2015 to June 2017. Robin is an excellent manager with great interpersonal qualities; he was helpful and problem solving and he certainly made an impact in the organization. As a teacher, Robin is a dedicated practitioner, he keeps students engaged and interested throughout his lessons, he is organized and a dedicated professional.
