Jeremy grew up in Bush Hill Park, Enfield, and was educated at Bancroft's School and Exeter University. He began working life as a history teacher in Sheffield and later became a headteacher, firstly of Halifax High in Calderdale, and then at Kingsbury High in the London Borough of Brent. Jeremy was made OBE for services to education in 2006.
Jeremy retired from the teaching profession in 2017 (and again in 2019) and now pursues enthusiasms for writing, travel, film, jazz, cricket and Tottenham Hotspur. The Century of Zara Keff is his first novel, and is to be published by The Book Guild in January 2025.
Jeremy is currently preparing a work of non-fiction, Letters to Miss Baker: How one teacher kept in touch with former scholars of Kingsbury County School serving their country. Due for publication in May 2025, it will be dedicated to Kingsburians, past, present and future, on the occasion of the centenary of the Kingsbury County School and the eightieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War.
