Meet the Housemaster...
Marcus Johnson took over as Oldham's Housemaster in September 2009. He was born in Liverpool and educated at Rugby School, University College London, Bristol Polytechnic and Cambridge University culminating in a B.Sc. (Hons) in Economics and a PGCE in Mathematics with P.E.
Before he joined the staff to teach Mathematics in 2005 Marcus spent 10 years at Exeter School, with a year away from work to take part in a round the world yacht race. He was Assistant Housemaster in Ingram’s Hall for three years and has become deeply involved in rugby at Shrewsbury.
Marcus is an RFU qualified rugby coach and a North Midlands Society Referee, and he is also an RYA qualified Yachtmaster (less useful lately with Shrewsbury not well known for its coastal proximity). Marcus very much enjoys skiing and music, both classical and contemporary, and has been known to “bend his back” for the Cheshire based Spasmodics C.C.
Marcus is married to Holly, and their first child Elizabeth Ann was born on 11th November 2010. Their home is in Cornwall, where Marcus particularly enjoys racing 'Florence' - a Falmouth Working Boat - during the holidays.
The Oldlham's Centenary Celebrations took place in June 2011 and were a huge success. Details of this and other recent news and photos (including the Housemaster's end of term letters to parents) may be seen on the Oldham's News and Photos page.
