Staff Joiners

We welcome the following staff members during the academic year 2021-2022… and A Level teacher who brings his considerable insight in examining to bear on his classroom practice. He had intended to be at Hymers for only one year, and so for us to have managed to keep him for three years, has been of great benefit to us. He has always been willing to help out when we’ve needed assistance and he has been a good colleague and source of wisdom both within the Geography Department and across the staff. We wish Mr Mellor well in his second retirement.

Justin Stanley he’s a thoroughly nice man, with nothing being too much trouble for him. For some pupils he has been an invaluable source of pastoral support within the school. The national award that our NCS team won in London is a fitting note on which Mr Geary will leave us.

However, he is going to leave a number of holes at school that will not be easy to fill. Of course we wish him well in his new job as he relocates to Sheffield to live with his partner.

Justin Stanley about three months doing nothing but leading online PE sessions for pupils across the school. But Mr Hartley, like many Hymers staff, is no one-trick pony and, in fact, over time more pupils and staff in the school have become aware that he has a drama degree. Furthermore all those of you who had the pleasure to see last summer’s

Greek plays will know what a skilled director he is. This year he has completed a PGCE – a teacher training degree – and, given his talents, it was no surprise that he landed the first job he applied for teaching drama in a school down in London. I know he has a bright future ahead of him.
