Miss C Brotherhood
7CB Hello 7CB,
My name is Miss Brotherhood and I’m going to be your form tutor when you join us after the summer holidays! In September, I will meet with you every morning in our Form Room. I will take the register then we will spend time together during Form Time organising ourselves for the day ahead and getting to know what goes on in school. I will be the teacher you talk to if you have a worry about something and need some advice. I will track your progress and your successes in school, and I will be able to help you to settle in and make friends. As well as being your new Form Tutor, I also teach Science and you’ll usually find me in the science prep room or my classroom. This is my first year here as a fully qualified teacher, but I have spent a lot of time at this school whilst I was taking part in my teacher training and am looking forward to us all getting to know this school together. No matter how nervous you feel on your first day at school, remember it’s completely normal and everyone else in the form group will be feeling the same way. If introducing yourself to other people seems scary, imagine how pleased you’d feel if someone came up to you and introduced themselves ... you can be that person for someone else! You’ll be amazed how quickly you’ll settle in and start to enjoy all your different lessons. I am really looking forward to meeting you in September, Miss Brotherhood |

Mrs C Austin
Year 7 Progress Leader Hi there,
I am Mrs Austin and I will be your progress leader at KEVI. Mr Lomas will help you to make a smooth transition from primary school to KEVI and then, once you are settled in, I will work with you, your tutors and your parents to support you on your journey here. I teach History mainly but also some Geography and RE and even English occasionally. I have 3 children who have all been through the school which, I think, helps me to see things from a student perspective as well as a teacher perspective. I do have certain expectations of my year group but only because I want us to be the best year group in the school and I want you to be "the best you can be!" I am really looking forward to meeting you in September, if not before! |
