Mr Philip Martell – I joined UCPS in September having previously spent 5 years teaching KS2 in my previous school in Wisbech. Before I started my teaching journey, I spent many years working in agriculture before teaching English abroad. I spent 3 years in China followed by 3 years in Spain and working abroad is where I found a passion for teaching. I really enjoyed living in both countries, learning about the culture, food and languages. One of the reasons I believe communication is so important in my role as a teacher now.
Outside of school, I come from a big family and love spending time with them, back on the farm or anywhere outside. I have always played rugby and enjoy the camaraderie it brings. Being active and outside are important to me and I look forward to exploring more of Cambridge.
