Miss Kane, maths teacher. Not because I liked maths but because she was fucking hot.

Miss Phillips, art mistress, probably getting on for 60 but looked exactly as you’d expect of an artist and drove a sports car like she’d stolen it 🙂

Oh and Mr. Hamlyn, deputy head who was a genuinely decent, clever, and a funny guy who could reduce a class to tears of laughter.

Heh. Yeah I can somehow vividly recall the one or two hot teachers we had. Not sure what influence they had on me other than a few fantasies.

We had an art mistress! I know the exact aesthetic, absolute wild card with massive glasses and hippie outlook.

Now that you mention it, we also had one really decent deputy head. Always made the time, always, to talk to you on your level and try to find something to connect with you on. He wasn't funny, but he was inspirational. Can't remember his damn name anymore.
