Year 8 Team
Form Tutors
Miss M Swift- Year 8 Form Tutor/ Head of PE
I will be teaching PE to Key Stage 2 and 3 this year and PSHE to the Year 8’s; I am also a Year 8 tutor. During lunchtimes and afterschool you are most likely to find me in the gym or netball courts running extra-curricular activities. I enjoy participating in sports myself; outside of school I am the captain of a hockey team, I play for different netball teams and I horse ride. I look forward to starting a new year at DMS and seeing you all back in school.
Mrs K Patel - Year 8 Tutor & Head of Maths
I am the subject lead for KS3 Maths and I am also a Year 7 tutor. I teach maths in KS3 and a KS2 class. Prior to teaching maths, I worked in the investment banking industry. When I am not in school I love to cook especially if I have discovered a new ingredient or dish; I help out at the allotment and enjoy reading. I look forward to meeting you as you continue your mathematical journey where everybody counts.
Mr K Bingham- Year 8 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.
