‘Zoom’ in for Christmas drinks and conversation with OP and Pocklington School teacher Trevor Loten ahead of his retirement next summer after an incredible 35 years of service – and that doesn’t include the 10 years he spent at the school as a pupil!

The format will be an informal Q&A with Trevor to reflect on his years at the school both as a pupil and a teacher. OPs are invited to submit questions ahead of the event and there will also be an opportunity to ask questions during the Zoom session itself.

Trevor’s journey at Pocklington started when he was a pupil, attending the school from 1970 to 1980 before gaining a choral scholarship to study Mathematics at Durham University. After completing his degree and postgraduate teaching qualification, he took up his first teaching post in Penrith, Cumbria before returning to Pocklington in 1986 to teach maths… and a few more things besides! As well as Trevor’s sporting involvement running tennis and squash teams to name a few, he has played a huge role in the school’s boarding community. He was Boarding Housemaster of School House and then Fenwick-Smith House for 12 years from 2000 to 2012 before moving out and then back in again a few years later as Fenwick-Smith House Tutor, a role he still holds today alongside his teaching duties.

With a total of 45 years at Pocklington School, there’s a lot of ground to cover and a lot of achievements and highlights to reminisce about along the way. So, get your questions ready, pour yourself a drink and join Trevor from the comfort of your own armchair for this unique event – we would love to see you there!
