Carolyn Wood - Head of English

Alex Bonner - Teacher of English Head of Year 11

"Since obtaining my degree from Northampton University in 2006 I have taught in Corby Community College and CBA, but in 2009 I joined Kingswood and have never looked back. I thoroughly enjoy teaching English and love the constant different interpretations and viewpoints that students bring to the classroom. I am currently Head of Year 11 and although it is a very challenging time for our students, it will be worth all the hard work to help our young people achieve their potential."

Deborah Cooksley - Assistant Principal/Teacher of  English

"I have been at Kingswood since 1992.  I have a degree in Modern English and Philosophy, a PGCE from Crewe and Alsager’s College of Higher Education, and completed a Master’s degree in Education whilst teaching.  During my career at Kingswood I have been the Head of English, and Assistant Principal.  I teach English and my great passion out of work is writing and illustrating children’s books."

Ben Eley – English Teacher and Head of Sixth Form

I bring a wealth of experience to the role. Having previously worked in three different schools over a thirteen year period, in roles such as Head of Year, Assistant head of department for English and Assistant Principal, I hope to utilise my experience for the benefit of our students. Prior to teaching, I completed a BA with Hons in Politics and Government at the University of Kent. My interests outside of school include Rugby, Mountaineering, Canoeing and Fishing."
