Personal Statement From Julian Haugh:

I qualified as a secondary school Maths teacher in 1995. I have 17 years experience working in secondary schools teaching pupils of varying ages and abilities. Working at Kip McGrath provides opportunity to work more closely with each pupil and give them more of my time in order for them to achieve their full potential. Personally, it’s great to work in an environment where pupils are extremely motivated and want to succeed.

Personal Statement from Chris Lucas:

I have been teaching Maths and English to children of ages 7 – 16 for over 20 years. I have also worked as deputy head of a special needs school (SEN) and I have also been part of the teaching faculty at Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar. Working at Kip McGrath allows me to apply my knowledge and experience with students on a 1 to 1 basis which is very rewarding as I see children develop their understanding of the subject matter and grow in confidence.
