There have been several new members of staff that have joined Bushey Meads School this year and I thought it would be a great idea to introduce each one over the course of the term.

Miss Collins teaches English and she has made an excellent impression on both the students and staff at BMS in the short time she has been with us.

The photographs show one of Miss Collins’ literacy lessons and as you can see, the entire class are on task and engrossed in their book. They also have the opportunity to read to Miss Collins on a one to one basis at some point throughout the lesson so she can offer improvement suggestions and support where required.

Angelina, one of the students in the class, said:

“Miss Collins explains things really clearly and gives us some fun activities to do. I have really enjoyed learning about Norse Gods and Egyptian mythology. I am glad to be in her class”.

I caught up with Miss Collins to ask how she feels her start at BMS has gone. She said:

“So far I am thoroughly enjoying teaching at Bushey Meads. The atmosphere among the students as well as staff is extremely positive and welcoming. I have been made to feel a part of the Bushey Meads community, and I know if I ever have any issues there is someone to turn to who is willing to help.

The English department have been extremely supportive and encouraging, and I have been able to explore the English curriculum with my students successfully through well thought out schemes of work and assessment goals”.

So as you can see, Miss Collins has had a positive start and we know that this will continue.
