“Marking schoolwork again makes me very happy as it brings fond memories flooding back. Teaching is a truly rewarding job and marking makes my time feel worthwhile, knowing the children will get something out of it. It is great to have something useful to do.”
Originally from Middlesex, Nigel taught history both locally and internationally, including Carshalton, Surrey, and even Malawi, Africa.
He left teaching aged 40 and joined the civil service working in customs and excise until his retirement at 63.
He moved to Chilton Meadows Bupa Care Home in December last year, where he continues to read about history and castles every day. Nigel also enjoys building model railways and spending time with his fellow residents.
