Christopher attended Christ's College School in Finchley. He made some wonderful friends there who became part of Chris's life and shared the experiences of his teenage years - Friday nights in North Finchley, holidays in Ayia Napa etc. No one who heard Chris speak will be surprised to know that the only award he won at Christ's College was for debating. Another high spot was having his arm broken on the football field by Oliver Naylor, who remained a great friend despite this! In the sixth form Chris took part in the exchange visit to Stockholm which inspired him to return as part of his degree course. Despite his casual approach to all forms of study Chris achieved 3 creditable A levels.
