Form Tutors

Mr K Bingham- Year 7 Form Tutor/ Head of Science

I have been at Dedworth Middle School for 5years and am currently the head of Science, a role which I am immensely passionate about. Outside of school I have lots of hobbies and interests that include; football (Toon army!), Formula 1 (go Mclaren), running (not my favourite), gaming (might be my favourite), painting Warhammer models, mountain biking, golf, World War 2 history and reading (as a teacher you’d think I have to say this but it is true I promise).

I love coffee and biscuits, pastries, doughnuts etc and if you have done something exceptionally well I could be persuaded to share a hot chocolate and a biscuit with you as a reward (any dietary requirements must be supplied in advance). I am very proud to be a part of Dedworth Middle School it really is a fantastic place to work.

Miss B Labonte - Year 7 Form Tutor / Head of Humanities

Hello! I am Miss Labonte, and I am 7BL’s form tutor this year. I am originally from Canada, but after university I made the UK my home. I am a History specialist and now Head of Humanities, and my goal is to equip all students at Dedworth with the skills to make sense of the world around us and our place within it. Outside of school, I am a HUGE reader; so far in 2025 I’ve read 87 books, and I’m aiming to reach at least 95 by Christmas! If you’re an avid reader—or looking to become one—come find me in Room D to chat about all things books.

I’m also a passionate runner, and I love sharing this with Dedworth students at our weekly cross-country club. Most Sundays, you’ll find me racing a 10 km or half-marathon, and this school year I’ll be taking on my biggest challenge yet: my first full marathon in Edinburgh this May. Finally, I’d love for students to join me at our brand-new History Society, launching after October half-term. Perseverance and aiming high are values I live by, and I hope to inspire my students to do the same.

Mr D Harman - Year 7 Form Tutor/ Humanities

Hello, I’m Mr Harman and new to the team! I'm delighted to have recently joined Dedworth Middle School as a Year 7 Tutor and Humanities teacher, with a particular interest in History. It's a real privilege to be part of such a welcoming and supportive team, and I'm looking forward to getting to know the students and wider school community. Having recently moved to the area, I'm enjoying exploring everything the local area has to offer. Outside of school, I’m a keen video gamer and a big football fan – I always enjoy a good match at the weekend!
