Carol GREEN (left in 1998)

Perhaps Carol Green was trying to balance her energies when she choose to come and teach our 7-8 year old boys at Haberdashers' - she has a husband and three daughters at home. Certainly any visitor to her classroom would not fail to notice her joy and enthusiasm in her work with her pupils. After they had met Carol, parents felt confident that their sons were in excellent hands.

She is a mature, well-organised teacher with a mischievous sense of humour - an asset in any school. She is quietly observant of each child's special needs, enabling her to bring out the very best in each one of her pupils, and stretching them well beyond their own expectations. With Carol, boys knew their boundaries, whilst given the freedom to develop as individuals within the secure and caring environment of P1 classroom. This gave young boys the very start they needed at Haberdashers'.

Carol came to the School in 1990. She worked long hours in school, often here preparing or marking long after others had gone home. Carol was a School Inspector's delight because on her desk was her mammoth book containing her plans of every single day's lessons and forecasts - all meticulously kept. Whilst successfully balancing the demands of a teacher with those of homelife, Carol was able to expend herself totally wherever she was needed. Parents and pupils respected this, as they did her knowledge of young people, and they also enjoyed her company. She will be greatly missed, and we wish her well for the future
