Army (C)

Sam studied Politics at Swansea University followed by an MA in International Studies at Birmingham University. He began his teaching career working at Sixth Form Colleges in Swansea and Hampshire, while also undertaking his doctoral research. He joined Bradfield in 2013 as Head of Politics and he has been a Deputy Housemaster in both House-on-the-Hill (G) and Stanley House. Sam has contributed widely to the academic curriculum at Bradfield, teaching Politics, History, Theory of Knowledge and Divisions. He also organises the Bentham Society, giving pupils the opportunity to explore political news and current affairs in greater depth. 

Although he grew up playing rugby, cricket and football, Sam is passionate about a wide range of sports. He represented Wales Students Rugby while at university and played semi-professionally in the Welsh Premiership and English National Leagues. He later moved into coaching roles and has enjoyed applying these skills to the co-curricular programme at Bradfield. For the past eight years he has successfully led the senior 3rdXI football, he coaches netball in the Lent Term and takes junior cricket teams in the summer. 

Sam is married to Jane, who has been a Tutor and netball coach at the College for several years. They have three children (Ioan, Carys and Mali) and will be joined in Army by their cat and two energetic springer spaniels.
