THE REEDER 2020
OR EVENTS & REUNIONS
y a D r e h c a e T a Thank In recognition of National Thank a Teacher Day on 20th May, we posted a simple photo on our OR social media pages of a few familiar faces from Reed’s. Sadly we didn’t have space to feature every teacher in the collage, but that did not stop friends from across the community contributing some wonderful comments. In a year when the teaching profession has had to face unparalleled challenges, it seems only right to celebrate how much #TeamReeds are appreciated.
Miles Harris (Bristowe 2019) Mr Norman what a legend, hockey and history guru!
Caroline Seymour (former parent) I know I’m a former parent but I must say thank you. There are so many amazing, incredible teachers and families who were all intrinsic in helping to bring-up my son and see him turn from a boy to a man. Something I will be eternally grateful for. There is one very special, patient, understanding and incredible man who supported us and that’s Alex Balls – he is our Reed’s Hero.
Emre Aktas (Mullens 1995) Paul Davies! Best teacher I had at Reed’s who really encouraged my passion for History!
Jamie Woodward (Blathwayt 2005) Wow so many to mention, but for me the best teachers I had were Mr & Mrs Wakefield; Derek was my all-time favourite and I can’t forget the big man himself, David Jarrett. We had a very interesting relationship as I wasn’t always the model student but he made sure I came away understanding the word ‘repercussion’ and having achieved as much as I could.
Siân Rowland (Mullens 1986) Some teachers were slightly perplexed by how to deal with the very few girls at Reed’s during my time, but I couldn’t have asked for a better (and more lenient) housemaster than Mr Martin. I loved A Level French with Mr King and English with Mr Prince who called me a ‘Bluestocking’ which I had to go away and look up! Happy days.
Emma Beamish (Blathwayt 2001) I was part of the first full year of girls in the 6th form. All of the teachers were brilliant I cannot thank Reed’s staff enough for their incredibly supportive culture whilst always having time for a laugh. Not to mention the sport that has made me the sports woman I still am today. Love you guys x
