Memories of

Mr Mark Clowes - Teacher

Mark Clowes

It is difficult to put into words what Mr. Clowes’ role was at St. Giles’ School.  On paper, he was Lawley class teacher and KS2 subject lead for PE and Music.  But he was so much more than this.  He was the source of raucous laughter, the mischievious trickster, the manager of countless sports teams.  His unofficial roles included self-appointed Chair of the Staff Jacket Potato Committee and model for an apparently endless supply of coats and shoes.  He will be missed terribly by everyone at St. Giles’.

Mark, such a fun loving attitude to life. An honour to have known and worked with you, I was always surprised when you crept into Clee to find out what was going on, or your oddly timed requests for how to prove pizza dough. Finlay loved you as his teacher and we are grateful …

I had the utmost pleasure of teaching Clee class, next door to Mark and Lawley class. So on a regulary basis Mark would burst in, just to check everything was okay. But to make sure I was always prepared and on my toes. Mark had this natural ability to just teach, he knew exactly …
