Mrs Hall and Ms Feather 

Mrs Hall

My name is Mrs Hall and I joined Fleetville Junior School in 2018. One of the best things about our school is the outdoor space we have available to us e.g. the huge field, two playgrounds, forest school area, the sensory garden and a netball court. I love being outside myself, preferably in the sunshine, and enjoy walking in the countryside and gardening. I also take great delight in visiting and learning about different countries and have been lucky enough to visit every continent except Antartica. Hopefully, I'll get the chance soon! It probably comes as no surprise, therefore, that my favourite subjects to teach are geography and history, which is a good job as I am history subject lead at Fleetville.

Hi, I'm Ms Feather (the only teacher to have attended the school herself!)

Fleetville is a very special community that nurtures lifelong friends and learning - the fact that I am still here is a tribute to this fact.

If you were to ask me who I find inspiring, I once met an 18-year-old boy who had cycled alone all the way from London to Kathmandu in Nepal! He'd had his bike stolen, been very poorly and lost his passport, but he'd seen these as temporary setbacks and had kept going. People like him, who have a positive can-do attitude, I find truly inspiring.

Ms Feather

If I had to choose one person, and because I am maths lead, I would have to choose Ada Lovelace, a female mathematician also considered the first ever computer programmer. Although it was never built, she wrote about a computer, the Analytical Engine, and realised that it could follow a series of simple instructions, a program, to perform a complex calculation. Not bad for a woman in Victorian times! 

Mrs Hall

Choosing to do things for other people, knowing it will make them happy, is my definition of kindness. Considering other people not only makes the recipient happy, but it can also bring you happiness too. 

Ms Feather

I would define kindness as the act of being a good human who treats others with warmth, empathy and respect. 

Mrs Hall

In my 20s, I went backpacking alone across the world for 2 years, which has been one of my greatest personal accomplishments to date.

Ms Feather

One of my earliest accomplishments, that I am still impressed by when I look back, is choreographing a dance routine for a dance club that I started at secondary school when I was in Year 10 or 11. In the end, there were 80 pupils on stage and it was the first time so many boys had got involved with such a performance. Dancing is still one of my favourite things to do.
