Joe, who comes from a small village outside Lutterworth, admits to having quickly felt at home at Princethorpe, even though the College is large compared to his former village school.

An able boy, he is particularly enjoying trying new subjects like Design & Technology and new approaches to old favourites like Mathematics.

A keen member of his local Rugby Club and now a key player in the College’s as yet unbeaten Under 12 rugby team, Joe has seen his circle of friends grow steadily through the year.

When he is not on the rugby field, Joe enjoys helping out on his parents' farm, playing with his friends in the village and mastering his X-Box.
