Can you introduce yourself and tell us what you do at our school?
Hello! I am Mr Dickinson, and this is my second full year at Eye primary. I teach Lions in Y6 alongside Miss Reed and Miss Acris, and this year I am leading Design Technology. My classroom is opposite the Sensory Room - so I have somewhere to relax and unwind after school!
What did you study at University?
I studied English and Primary Education at Bishop Grosseteste Teacher Training College in Lincoln, and at Hull University. I loved living away from home for the first time - and I had a great time and made lots of friends whilst studying for my degree!
What were your favourite subjects at school?
​My favourite subjects at school were PE, History and English. I also played football and rugby for my school - but I was never very good!
What did you do before you were a teacher?
I used to work in a record shop on Saturdays, and when I went away to College I worked part-time in Boots in Lincoln!
What do you like to do out of school?
I like reading, listening to music and watching films, and I also enjoy walking and cycling - and going to football matches. I support Manchester United, but I usually go to see Peterborough United or Lincoln City! I love food, and like to cook for my family - but unfortunately, my experiments often turn out to be inedible!
What's your favourite meal?
I love Indian food - especially curries (And especially if I haven’t cooked them myself!)
Is there anything you really don't like?
Snakes.
Can you describe yourself in one word?
Old!
