'My favourite teachers from the prep, well there were a few. Mr Smith, a very nice man who helped me to take up Spanish at which I am now 95% fluent. Mr Brian Morrow, funny and passionate man that I will always remember for nuturing my sporting talents. Mr Phillip Oldroyd, intelligent and wise man that was a good role model for any to follow, I remember one lesson where Mr Oldroyd asked us to pick a stock and see in one months time how much we had won/lost. Everyone had lost!! It must have been the .com crash! But now I use these skills in everyday life and see the importance of what he was showing us. My favourite memory of the Prep would have to be my last sports day where I won 5 events including 800 metres. My Best Regards go to all teachers and students of Sevenoaks Prep'
