But she loves a challenge. She puts her all into the school productions, often pushing to the limits of achievability.

He likes cycling and also runs D of E trips for older children.

Mrs Dorothy Furkins
Secretary
Job: Voice of the school/Face of the school.
Mrs Furkins is a busy secretary who worked in a bank before she had children (who are all now all grown). She’s always bright and breezy – and ready to help out. She loves surfing the internet and will undertake online research for any of the staff who asks – a little too keen at times. She has the ability to handle any troubled phone calls from parents worried about their children. She can be an ‘agony aunt to the staff too. She has a first aid certificate and is ready to use it. She has her suspicions over the caretaker, but can’t prove anything yet. Always about the place, but mainly around reception. She has served as secretary at St Peters in the Water now for 10 years.

Mr Del Aware
Supply Teacher
Mr Del Aware is our loyal supply teacher and covers various classes. He always seems to be there. He likes sports and music, particularly jazz! Is originally from the southern States of America. He is often referred to by the children as the school cool dude and very laid back, this is due to the way he casually drifts around the school. When he covers lessons, they often end up listening to music and his life-affirming stories. Kids come out very ‘mellow’ from his lessons, which the other teachers really appreciate.

Mr Derek Knowles
Caretaker
Known by many Nicknames by the Children and staff including: Dr No, Dr Nose and Mr Knowall (but was he really a Dr. of Philosophy as he claims?). Some think he is a bit strange, others think he is a little megalomaniacal, he thinks he’s secretly running the school. But all we can say is he is a bit of a mystery. But he certainly seems to know a lot about what’s going on. As he says, “This school wouldn’t run without me.” He has been the Caretaker at St Peters in the Water now for almost 20 years.

Mrs Teresa Green
Class – Year 6 & Deputy Head
Specialism: English & Art
Mrs Green is well versed in all that has gone on in the school as she herself attended St Peters in the Water as a child. She is passionate about the school, art, literature and poetry. She’s said that her marriage to Mr Green (who helps in the school’s gardens) brought together her love of Constable’s beautiful landscapes and Wordworth’s poems of the English countryside, whereas Terressa Brown never had the same ring to it. She is a very capable deputy head. She runs a very tight ship when it comes to learning and school discipline. She has taught at St Peters in the Water since she qualified 15 years ago.
