Adam went to Chislehurst & Sidcup Grammar School. In Year 7 he started playing rugby for the first time. He was good at French and German, and helped out with the younger students on a trip to Le Touquet when he was in Sixth Form. The 6th Form Leavers Ball at Bromley Court Hotel in May 2006 was, in his words, a 'quality night' for Adam, as he had so many close friends including his rugby team and the teachers all together.
