About me My story

I am a Head of English and have been teaching for 13 years. I am 34, have 3 children a lovely husband and I'm always busy! I come from Limavady in Northern Ireland and love the London life. I am still toying with what to do and am dreading fellow teaching staff coming down to Trafalgar square to heckle me (don't dare!).

I have been loving how supportive pupils and colleagues have been and am getting very excited. I love monuments and every form of architecture and can't wait to get on the plinth. I am not an entertainer,although pupils may find me entertaining, and as I have never really left school I feel compelled to be a 'school girl'. Poetry is my first love, another form of art and most likely the way I will express myself on the plinth. I will also bring my Jack Petchey award that I received in March of this year as it means such a lot to me.

Thanks to my yr 8 pupils who have also sent me messages of support....you are all wonderful. Bishop Stopford's School rocks x

I wrote a note earlier, but I don't think it went through. Here's something similar.

She's so cute. She looks like a wonderful teacher! It seems she really loves what she does. The group below, are they teachers, if so, the fact that they are there with her speaks well of Karis. Good luck with the rest of your days, dear.
