Staff Welcome
You will see and work with lots of adults when you come to secondary school, and they are all here to help you in different ways. On this page you will hear from many of them, they will tell you about their role in school and what they might do for you. Get to know these people - they will help you during your time at Outwood Academy Easingwold.

My name is Mrs Knowles. I work on the reception desk and have lots of jobs, answering the phone, meeting any
visitors to the school and helping with admin jobs. You will sometimes see me popping into your lessons or tutor
groups delivering letters and messages. In September one of my main jobs is to get your lockers and keys ready,
although you will need to be patient as this can take a few days to sort. If you have any problems or worries and don't
know what to do, come to reception. I am always happy to help.
Looking forward to meeting you all soon.
My name is Miss Bell and I work in the Attendance office. My main role is to
support students with their attendance and to ensure everyone is where they
should be during the day by checking their registers. Hopefully you will not
need to come and see me very often, but students who feel unwell are sent to
me so we can discuss the best option for you. You can also come to my office
to tell me if you have a medical appointment during the school day. My other
roles in school involve helping with transition from primary school and
organising uniform for new students. I will also help to organise your
Graduation when you come to the end of Year 9.
I look forward to seeing you joining us!
My name is Mrs Kelman and I am the Inclusion Administrator and the Consequences Manager for
Outwood Academy, Easingwold.
Should you ever end up in the consequences system (and hopefully that will not be the case) it is my
job to support you through it, to make positive choices, rebuild relationships and reflect on your
behaviour.
On a daily basis, I coordinate all the sanctions that are issued within school. Throughout the day I
speak to parents and work closely with the Learning Managers and Inclusion team to ensure that the
support is in place to ensure that you are able to concentrate on having a positive learning
experience.
I also manage the Reflection room, which is a quiet space where students go to
reflect for a period of time on the choices that they have made, you are provided with work
specifically for you. The room is supported by staff throughout the day and again we hope you do not
have to spend any time in the reflection room, but if you do I will work with the teachers and Learning
Managers to try to ensure you successfully complete your day.
I also work with the Inclusion team to support all the students in school that need a little extra help
with all sorts of education and learning needs.
I look forward to supporting you in September.
Hello! I am Mrs Burton and I'm the Learning Manager for the sixth form. I support them with any
issues they might have both in and out of school and advise them on applying
for university or apprenticeships once their time at school comes to an end.
Although I’m mostly based over in the sixth form centre, I’m always available in
school for a chat and will offer any support I can whilst you settle in to year 7.
I’m looking forward to meeting you all soon.
