I just today thought I would look you up and found out about this. You taught me in 2013 or 2014 and I still remember your English lesson (and how adamantly opposed you were to Oxford Comma if I recall correctly). I'm at uni now, and honestly don't think I would have been here if you hadn't taught me. I remember how kind and patient you were when I couldn't understand my 5 times tables (at 9 tragically). Being in your class gave me a love of learning (and books) and now I take that curiosity into my degree. You made a real impact on a lot of people and will be missed (you and your secret chocolate stash).

Robin! My special teaching friend. Together we taught side by side. We planned together! Marked together! Wrote reports together! Laughed together! Just friends together! We stayed strong! We checked on each other! We arrived at school early!
We were both always on time .
So loved you being part of my teaching world ! 13 years side by side!
Not the way I thought we´d part our teaching world together!
Sad!

Robin. My forever teaching friend and partner in education.
I met you in your first year teaching as you taught our son. We both just got on and became amazing teaching friends .
Then we taught at Hadlow side by side totally together for years ! Year 3 and 4. We were at great team! Lots of laughter and fun...so many happy years teaching side by side. Our morning catch ups ! Giggles and more funny stories. Forever a special friend .
The minute I knew your car wasn´t at school I knew you were in trouble . But when you didn´t answer your phone. I just knew.
Will always treasure our teaching days together. We were a team! The best! So so going to miss you!!!!
