What is your role in the school?

I’m the Catering Chef Manager.

How long have you been working here?

Two years.

Staff

Have you lived or worked a nywhere else before?

M rs L iz Ellis

QUESTIONNAIRES Me mbers of Form 6F carried out these interviews after finishing their senior school exa ms.

Yes I live in Dorking. I’ve worked all over the place. I’ve worked in Cranleigh, Guildford, Dorking, Edinburgh, Crawley and Peterborough. All my roles have been food related.

Do you prefer your current job or your previous job?

I prefer my job now!

What do you enjoy most a bout working here?

What cha nges have you seen while you have been working here?

We’ve changed the food to a degree.

Obviously, we had to change the Dining Room because of COVID. It will be good to see it go back to normal. I’ve also enjoyed seeing the change in the children as each term goes past and the change in all the countryside and colours around the school.

Do you have a ny pets?

I have a pet cat! I used to have two boxer dogs. I used to have horses as well, when I was younger. I love animals. I like riding but I haven’t done it for quite a long time.

What do you like to do when you are not working?

I like the interactions with my colleagues, because they’re an effective team, and I like the interactions with the children.

Cycling and I sometimes play a bit of golf. I am quite sporty, I like to go outside because I grew up on a farm. I like to be outside, I don’t like being inside for very long. Sometimes I can go a whole week without watching television!

What is the stra ngest thing that has happened here?

What are your hopes for the future?

There was a flood in the kitchen in the middle of lunchtime which was particularly bad timing!

For the foreseeable, I’d like to stay here because I enjoy the feel of the school and my team is really good. I’d like to keep moving things forward. It’s great here at Cranleigh.

10 10-11 Interview Question v4.indd 10

01/09/2021 11:12 am

Have you lived or worked a nywhere else?

What has been your stra ngest moment at Cra nleigh?

I live about five minutes away from the school. This is really good as I can get here very quickly and it is easy. I also used to live in the Philippines with my family.

I crashed a drone into myself when landing whilst filming for the race to China video.

What cha nges have you seen in your time at Cra nleigh?

What is your role in this school?

I manage the IT systems and help run all of the social media pages as well as filming all of the school films, including general school promotion online.

How long have you been working here?

I joined in 2016, which is five years ago now.

Do you prefer, working at Cra nleigh or your last job?

My last job was freelancing, I was a video editor for different companies, and there was far less stability. I enjoy coming to one place every day and there is a lot of variety here.

What do you enjoy most a bout your job?

I enjoy the creative and filming side of things here, as well as supporting the students and staff with their IT issues.

There have been quite a few events at school. There has been a Headmaster change and the Townsend building was built.

Do you have a ny pets?

I had a cat throughout my childhood which recently died at the age of 22!

Also, I suppose you could count some frogs that I have living in a pond.

Do you have a ny hobbies?

I’m currently doing quite a lot of DIY at home since I recently moved into a new house. I also like to go hiking outdoors.

Technology is great but being outside is needed after a long week.

Where are you from?

When growing up, I used to live in Guildford but I recently moved to Milford.

What are your hopes for the future?

I would like to have a media club with a ‘Cranleigh TV’ sort of thing, with news, sports fixtures and things that involve both schools, being both filmed and edited by the students.

M r R u p e rt o K atig

ba k

What’s your role in this school?

I work in the Facilities Department and I help do lots of work around the school.

How long have you been working at Cra nleigh Prep?

I have been working at Cranleigh since 2004 and have worked here for over 17 years.

Do you prefer your current job to your last one?

I used to work as an electrician and I enjoyed my job there but I prefer my current job as I have worked here for so long.

I love working at the school because I like to be around the children and It makes me happy seeing them grow up.

What cha nges have you seen in your time at Cra nleigh Prep?

The Ferrier, Wheeler and Couper were the only buildings when I started working at Cranleigh but the Couper was new when I joined.

Do you have a ny fa mily?

I have a wife who lives with me near Cranleigh, but most of my family live in the Philippines, where I grew up.

What do you like to do when you are not working?

I like to travel and go to places like Spain and Portugal.

What are your hopes for the future?

When I retire, I want to be able to go back home to the Philippines to relax, to see my family and friends.

We had a great trip to High Ashurst.

TRIP TO

High Ashurst

Our first activity included some orienteering, the high ropes (which were fun and really petrifying) and a very high trapeze jump. The second activity was the cat walk; you had to climb a ladder, then walk on the pole. To get down, you had to fall backwards off the pole. We then had to build a puzzle, which was very tricky! We also went in to a very dark cellar. Afterwards we had to climb a log, then run down it and hit the pole with our feet.

During Distance Learning Form 4 pupils were informed that a terrible crime had resulted in the tragic (albeit fictional!) deaths of two pupils from Cranleigh Prep School.

This horrendous event was just the latest in a series of crimes that had been sweeping through the school. School iPads had been going missing and the suspicion was that these two crimes may have been linked.
