I was lucky enough to be taught my Mr Fell at GCSE and A level in the mid 2000’s. His classes were full of coloured flames, bubbling conical flasks and fume cupboard explosions – just what a chemistry lesson should look like! Coupled with boundless enthusiasm and patience it was obvious he took great pride in sharing his passion with each and every student. He was a wonderful teacher, and will have played an inspirational role to many young scientists – as he did for me. I am very saddened to hear of his passing, my thoughts are with his family and the Kent College community.
