Pastoral Team

Mr E O’Donnell

I am the Pastoral Leader at Dedworth Middle School. I teach History and Geography to Year 7 and 8 pupils. I mainly teach my lessons in Jubilee 1. When I can I like to watch the school sports teams and referee football matches.

At lunchtimes and breaktimes I can be found in the PLC or on the playgrounds. I am more than happy for you to come and find me if you have a problem or a worry.

When I’m not at school I enjoy playing golf, watching a wide range of sports and spending time with my family.

I’m looking forward to welcoming all pupils back to school and meeting all of the new Year 5 starters.

Mrs E Pearson

I am the SENDCo at Dedworth Middle school. As a SENDCo I look after all the children who have any specific educational needs and offer advice and support in the classroom as well as to parents. When I am not at work, I like to spend time with my husband, our 2 children, Jonas who is in Year 9 and Tula-Grace who is in Year 5 and our dog Ivy who is training to be a therapy dog. As we live in the country, we love to go on long walks together and have enjoyed exploring more over lockdown

Ms E Jerrard

I work in our Pastoral Team as the Pastoral Manager. We do group and 1:1 behaviour mentoring when our children need it, do an on-call service for our classrooms, mindfulness, anger management, sessions for self-esteem and mental health, sports mentoring and generally working together with our  children and families to help you all be happy at school! Outside school I do some Personal Training with women who want to get fit, I love cooking and I have 2 children and 2 dogs. I am really lucky too because I love my job!

Mr S Donnelly

I currently work in the Hub but also have many other responsibilities around school and I enjoy the challenge of every day being different. I joined Dedworth Middle School not too long ago but due to my role at the school I feel like I have got to know so many children already, and hope that they feel as though they know me too. Working with children on a one-to-one basis outside of the classroom enables me to encourage them to recognise their strengths and that is something that I aim to achieve each day with all the children I come across. As well as this, I am also a fan of many different sports and play football (semi-professionally). If anyone ever fancies a chat about anything sporty, I’m your guy! You can usually find me on the playground at break times and lunch times.

Miss F Morrey

Being a past student of DMS, when the opportunity of a catch-up tutor arose, I felt obliged to assist. It has been an odd time to start this new adventure, but with that said, I have felt incredibly welcomed by all staff and students. I am passionate about the development of educational needs of children and to accommodate, support those students who have fallen behind due to current issues of the pandemic. It is vital, in this case to succeed. My career outside of education is art. I am a photographer and am inspired by performance art also. I am a fond reader and love long walks listening to music. This year I am keen to learn new things as well as teach; grasp the structure of the school and help those who are in need the most.

Mr J Edwards

I am a catch-up tutor. My aim is to help students who have been impacted by the pandemic improve their English and Maths. Although my focus is on English and Maths, the subject I am most interested in is Geography which I studied at university. I love staying active, and when outside of school I play football, run, and go to Bracknell forest to do mountain biking. My favourite sport is skiing, which led me to doing a ski season last winter in Austria. I am excited to be a member of Dedworth Middle School and support the learning of students in this difficult period.
