Stretford High School

Subject Leader

Mr Brown has been a Mathematics teacher since 2001, and he has loved EVERY minute of it. He wanted to be a teacher since the tender age of 13, four main reasons really; His Mathematics teacher (Mr Foster – tough looking guy, often with a skin head who played rugby and used to come into school with cuts and black eyes, SCAREY guy who made Maths fun but also normal), His Science teacher (will remain nameless fro all the wrong reasons), His mother (love you mom) and a man called Mr Breimah.  

Teaching is a truly fantastic job as it is the only job where you really do “Work with tomorrow, today” That’s my quote so remember that. Teaching and education are not just about formal qualifications (which are extremely important might I add), but about building and creating character within each and every one of us as learners.

Mathematics is an important subject that not only you should try your hardest to achieve in, but also enjoy. With a Mathematics qualification whether that be a grade G or A* it will show prospective colleges or employers that you have numerical skills.

 As a wise old man once said to me “Education is a key that opens many doors. Have the key of a positive character as well and you can open any door you want”. Enjoy Achieving!
