Chris attended Bexhill High School between 1991-1996, he enjoyed the social aspects of school and was always surrounded by his friends. He once again made many friendships, which would develop and last into his adult life. Chris's statement blonde hair, which was cut into heavy curtains, is something his friends remember well and his cheeky sense of humour and charm always shone through. 

Chris continued his love for sport and football, he played for the school team for the 5 years. Chris also played for Little Common FC for many years and this was a passion. 

Chris attended a school trip to France skiing and his family have shared stories of his teachers finding rather a lot of empty beer cans in the melted snow outside the dorm window, where he and his friends were staying and there have been many stories of his school prom, where Chris was rather worse for wear and didn't actually make it in to the prom, but was picked up by his mum on little common round about where he was rather poorly, she thought at first he was genuinely unwell!
