Mark was a properly top tier teacher and rugby coach. So great at building pupils confidence including my own, at such a pivotal period of their development. His passion and enthusiasm was abundantly clear and he was a hugely popular teacher. In fact, I’m pretty sure one of my bank security question answers is “Mr Stringer” when auto-prompted by the question “Who was your favourite teacher at junior school?”. I’m so sorry for your loss. But know that he had such a positive influence on so many people that are benefitting today, many years later.
