Mr N Giles

I started my adult life in the Royal Navy (RN) which originally brought me from the West Midlands to Portsmouth in the 1980s.  After leaving the RN, I became an English teacher and have since worked in a number of schools across Hampshire.  I moved to Miltoncross in September 2021 from a school in Southampton where I had been the headteacher for 5 years.

I genuinely believe that as adults we owe it to our students to uphold very high standards and model strong self-discipline.  Sometimes this means making brave decisions that are unpopular in the present but are in the best interests of a student’s future.  We want children to excel in all academic learning alongside attributes such as strong work ethic, kindness, courtesy and having a solid ‘can do’ attitude that avoids excuses.
