Getting to know you: Meet Nick Jeffries

Blackfriars is delighted to welcome a number of new staff members in 2023. We look forward to getting to know them – and here’s a head start.

Name: Nick Jeffries

What will you be teaching in 2023? Year 2.

Where are you joining us from? First ever class for a year!

What do you hope to bring to Blackfriars? I’m really looking forward to bringing my bright and fun personality to the classroom. Being a Blackfriars old scholar, I hope to bring and create a love and passion for our Blackfriars community. 

What’s the best thing about teaching? The everyday experience. Teaching is something new every day; new challenges, new lessons, new activities and new memories. All of this while helping young people learn, grow and succeed. 

What’s your favourite song and why? Sunday Morning, Maroon 5. Just a chilled song from a great album.  

Your favourite movie? Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Great story, great music, great acting, great series, great costumes. I just love Star Wars.

What would we typically find in your lunchbox? I’m a big fan of the canteen for lunch, however, you will see me bring a couple muesli bars and some fruit for morning and recess.
