Year 5
Class teacher – Mr Seccombe
Hi! My name is Mr Seccombe. I am excited about being your teacher this year. I am married to Mrs Seccombe and I have two children, Florrie and Eliza. Our family also includes our lovely Australian Labradoodle, Dougie. He was born in 2025, and he is an extremely cuddly and happy dog.
Some interesting facts about me:
- By the time I was your age, I had already lived in the UK, America and France. I've been learning French since I was your age.
- Also, I have swum with the world's largest fish...the whale shark.
When I am not at school, I love spending time with my family, reading, playing board games and listening to music. Additionally, I love films, and in particular superhero movies.
