Meet TANB Staff | Mr Robertson

Each half term, we will be introducing you to a member of staff and getting to know about their life outside of work. This half term we would like you to meet our Deputy Head: Mr Robertson…

 

Mr Robertson is a Grandfather and Dad to three adult children. He got married to his wife in Jamaica.

Mr Robertson really likes Spain and his 3 cats. He said his passions in life are his guitar and Sunderland Association Football Club (SAFC). He has been in bands all his life and still plays live to this day.
