Join us for a vibrant, nostalgic and heartfelt conversation with Toby Waterhouse (80-91, st18-), Old Grovian and current PE & Games teacher at Brontë House. From his first days as a Year 4 pupil in 1980 at Brontë, through his Grove School years (Findlay House, class of 1991), to his present-day full-time teaching role, Toby reflects on four decades of deep-rooted connection with the Grovian community.

In this episode:

• Schoolboy tales from Brontë House (ice on the pool, Whernside pride and early boarding days)
• Sprinting through Grove memories: art mischief, rugby tours to Australia & Canada and a missed tour photo!
• Teachers and friends who shaped his journey – names like Roger Howard and Keith Jones
• From London life to Yorkshire roots: career twists, epiphanies and a new purpose in coaching
• A day in the life of Brontë House PE – from Reception swimming to Year 6 sports
• Fond tributes to David Garner and tales of ‘surprise’ van trips

Whether you’re an OG, a current student, a parent, or a proud member of the Brontë House/Grove community, this episode is packed with personality, passion and plenty of PE stories.
