    SOUTH South Bromsgrove High - An Academy Trust Half-Yearly Newsletter Issue 5 2015 www.southbromsgrove.worcs.sch.uk View from Mr Sprouting What’s your first memory? I remember running around the dining room table which seemed to tower above me, beneath me was a hideous tartan-style carpet and I was trying to escape from the clutches of my parents who were taking me for my first day at school. Times haven’t really changed when it comes to having to go to school! What is your favourite food? If we are staying in then I always enjoy a Sunday roast; my wife makes great roast potatoes. If we are going out or it’s take away then a curry every time. Has to be fairly spicy though. When you were 16 what plans did you have for a career? I originally wanted to be a social worker and in my gap year I worked with young offenders. I soon realised that you needed a lot more patience than I have in order to work in that profession. Who’s your favourite actor/actress? I’m more of a fan of directors than actors as they seem to be the ones with the vision. Too many to mention but if I had to pick a few I would go for Murnau’s Sunrise which is so cinematic, Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner which is full of ideas on what it means to be human, and most films by Danny Boyle who for me is one of the best British directors working today.
