KINGSWOOD IN FOCUS 2020-21 | STAFF & LEAVERS
STAFF FAREWELLS Kingswood is a wonderful place to work and a difficult place to leave. As a sign of the times, many of our staff farewells at the end of term took place online, but it was wonderful to be able to say farewell to our longer serving members of staff in person at the end of term assembly. The following words are an adaptation of the Headmaster’s valedictions to these members of staff.
…you are our link with the past, help to keep us rooted in our values and serve as a reminder of the rich and wonderful history of our school.

Mrs Fountain Humanities Mrs Fountain was appointed full-time Teacher of Humanities in September 2007. During her 14 years of service at Kingswood School, Mrs Fountain taught many subjects in our curriculum, including: Classical Civilisation, History, Geography, Religious Studies, EPQ and PSHCE. Mrs Fountain took responsibility for the planning and delivery of Classical Civilisation, supported by the Head of Classics. During her tenure, Classical Civilisation was a popular subject, chosen by good numbers of students at both Year 9 and at GCSE where pupils benefited from her excellent subject knowledge. Perhaps not surprising that her two eldest sons are both classics graduates. Mrs Fountain has also been a tutor in Westwood and Middle and contributed to our games programme over the years. Mrs Fountain, thank you very much and we wish you all the best.
