It has been lovely getting to know Lucy over the last year. She joined us from Tunbridge Wells Grammer School for Boys and now leaves us to continue her career at Woodbridge School in Suffolk. We are sorry to see Lucy leave so soon, however, the opportunity at Woodbridge is too good to pass up!

Lucy is both a thoughtful and compassionate teacher and colleague. This is personified in the level of commitment and dedication she has shown to her Third Form tutor group, who I know will be very sad to say goodbye.

Lucy has taught a variety of Chemistry abilities this year ranging from two Third Form sets to the Upper Sixth. In Department, Lucy is always willing to help, whether it be with the outreach programme or additional examination marking. In fact, I am not sure that I have ever met a teacher who enjoys marking so much!

Outside of the Department, Lucy has integrated herself into College life. She freely gives her time to support pupils both pastorally in Westal and in academic one-to-one tutorials. She has thrown herself wholeheartedly into the CCF program, utilising her skills as a Lifeguard and has excelled in helping with the basketball programme, especially shooting games.

Her warm and cheerful personality will be missed in the Department and especially in the Biology workroom which has been her second home! We wish Lucy every success in the future.
