I’m so sorry to hear of Rosie’s death. In all the time I knew her, I don’t think I once heard her complain but she remained calm and positive even in the most difficult circumstances. She was an extremely kind and supportive friend and an inspirational colleague and teacher. I never quite knew how she managed to keep students completely engaged even after the lunch bell had gone- even those difficult year 11 revision lessons in the run up to exams: her students would still be there listening to her every word. I remember on one occasion I read a letter that a student had sent her. This student was not happy in her new school but wrote to Rosie to tell her that,  when she was finding life particularly tough in her new school, she would hear Rosie’s voice encouraging her and inspiring her to do better.I think there will be many, many students for whom Rosie’s quiet, supportive voice will be a source of encouragement throughout their lives. A wonderful legacy. A wonderful human being.
