User:Jonathon Birks

Jonathon Birks(often referred to as Jonny or Birksy) was born on the 5th January 1988 in Hexham hospital, Northumberland UK. He has resided in the small Northumberland town of Prudhoe all his life.

EARLY LIFE

As a youngster, Jonathon was a happy boy attending the St. Matthew's Social Hall's "Playgroup" where was introduced to many acquaintances who he would often socialise with throughout later years.

In the Autumn of 1992, Jonathon started his educational journey at St. Matthew's R.C First School, Prudhoe. The decision to join this particular school was welcomed by parents Eileen and William. This being because of Eileen's devotion to the Catholic church and William was also keen because it was close to home. Jonathon attended the school for five years before starting at St. Joseph's R.C Middle School, Hexham.

Jonathon was not a fan of his new school and the four years he attended the Hexham based school (12 miles from his home town) were not his favourite. The early mornings and the idea of mingling with Hexham and district residents (Hexham being synonymous with inbreeding and general thuggish ill mannered behaviour) were enough to make attending the school feel less than pleasurable. Jonathon was in and out of trouble to his parent's dis-pare, being a regular attendee to the Friday afternoon after school detention.

HIGH SCHOOL

After a four year stretch served in the Hexham based middle school, it was time for Jonathon to begin attending Prudhoe Community High School (PCHS)in the Autumn of 2001. Social progress started slow as the majority of his former class mates were attending the lacklustre Hexham High School. Being the friendly and confident young gentleman that he is, it didn't take long before a close band of friends were formed.
