I am Miss Jackson and I am the Head of Year 10. I teach PE, PSHE, Maths and Health & Social Care.  I am also the school’s Mental Health Lead. I am really excited to continue with Year 10 on their journey through the school and supporting them through Key Stage 4. Year 10 are a vibrant and active year group who are keen to be proactive in social and community issues. Last year we held a number of events to raise money for different charities; selling Valentine’s day roses, hosting bake sales and raising awareness of local and national issues. We had a fantastic Year 9 student voice who had the opportunity to support the Senior Leadership Team in their constant work to help our students feel safe and happy at school and their contributions and ideas were invaluable. 

There was a vast amount of sporting success in Year 9 with victories in Football, Netball, Cricket and Rounders to name a few. The year finished with our fabulous Oscars ceremony where I was amazed at the talented short films the students produced. I was also lucky enough to see students involved in our Fortismere Pride event and to watch their musical achievements at various concerts throughout the year. There were many opportunities for students to represent the school ranging from open afternoons and evenings to Sports leadership events and the commitment and dedication from students was heartwarming. 

I look forward to continuing this journey with Year 10 this year and to watch students make the achievements and progress they deserve. If you would like to get in touch with me please email me at kjackson@fortismere.org.uk.

I am Ms Boot, the Deputy Head of Year 10.  I am also a PE teacher and work closely with Ms Jackson to ensure that the Year 10s feel supported in our wonderful school. 

My main role as Deputy HOY is to monitor student attendance and punctuality. We are all aware of the importance of attending school and being present in lessons, on time and ready to learn – this is critically important to Y10 as they move into key stage four.
