Jono is a member of the Upper Sixth and is know to reside on the back table of the LCR.

School Work

Starting in lower sixth, Jono decided to take up Computing, Geography, Maths, Chemistry and Physics. While this may sound like a rather stupid thing to do - which it is - Jono excelled in all his subjects and decided to keep all of them at A2. This was another stupid thing to do.

Despite these "momentary" lapses of judgement, Jonathan has excelled in all his subjects, as can be seen from the results of his Geography papers at AS level. In his first exam in this subject, he failed to answer all the questions on the paper - yet still managed to claim full UMS marks. This was followed in the summer exams by another 100% paper, this time GGB3, which was backed up by an 86% result in the physical paper. Although Jono feels this result is poor, it should be noted that this paper was answered so badly that the majority of pupils in Dr Edwards's set scored 30% lower than would have been expected. This trend has continued into A2, with another full marks, this time on GGB6 (coursework).

Music

Since he tends to be one of the quietest members of the back table, it comes as a shock to many to find that he does, in fact, follow the general back-table trend of being into metal: from cheesy classic 80s heavy metal to Death, to operatic symphonic, the chances are he'll listen to it. Particular favourites include:

• Manowar
• Opeth
• Nightwish
• Opeth
• In Flames
• Disturbed
• Rammstein
• Arch Enemy
• Dream Evil
• Opeth

His liking for such bands, and his lack of knowledge of anything remotely mainstream has often led to accusations of a "blinkered" taste in music. He takes offence to this, and actually considers himself to have a wide range of musical tastes. He enjoys a variety of things from Tchaikovsky to William Shatner (for varying reasons), and doesn't mind listening to pretty much anything that isn't Dance, (C)Rap, "Urban" or whiney Indie rubbish.

Chinese Day

Jono is a founding member of Chinese Wednesday. On this day, it has become tradition for members of the back table who have a free period 3 - namely Jono, Simon and more often than not Heskey - to head down to Waterfoot to order Chinese. This is then either devoured or taken to the Bench, where Dani and Becky tend to sit and wait like vultures for scraps of Chow Mein.
