A big thank you to
two long-serving teachers
Miss Smith and Mrs Taylor have been with our
school for a combined total of 47 years. A great
many people in our community will know them and
will have been taught by them! In my time at the
school, over the past eight years, I have always
found two reliable, experienced and dedicated
colleagues and we will miss them.
I was delighted when Miss Smith agreed to take
over as Head of the maths faculty a few years ago
and, under her leadership, it is no surprise that
we have seen the results rise. This is a trend Mrs
Phillips, our new Head of Maths, is confident will
continue. However, Miss Smith’s greatest claim
to fame must surely be her annual orchestration
of the Twelve Days of Christmas. She has been
responsible for sending generations of Kimberley
children off on their Christmas holiday full of
festive cheer.
As Head of Arts, Mrs Taylor has not only been
responsible for developing the skills that enable

our students to produce the outstanding art we
see around school, but also for managing the
wonderful shows we have come to expect. Behind
the scenes, Mrs Taylor has been responsible for
supporting the PTA and it is fair to say it would not
have survived without her continued enthusiasm
and dedication. Fortunately for the school, we
are not losing her experience and passion for the
school completely, as she will be teaching in a
part-time capacity next year. I’m sure her support
will be invaluable to Mr Fulwood, our new Head of
Arts, who joins us in September.
The holidays are almost upon us. I’d like to take this
opportunity to wish everyone a fantastic summer.
I hope our students will take the opportunity to
read a book or two and also make sure they use
some of their spare time to help out at home!
Stay safe and come back ready to do your best
in September.
