Lisa Hall joined the staff at High Storrs in October 2007 to cover for a long term absence in the Science faculty.
Although she was with us for only a few weeks she had a significant impact on the teaching and learning. She  was thrown into the deep end somewhat and replaced a longserving and popular member of staff who suffered a serious illness. I sought regular feedback from the 6th form students involved and was instantly reassured by their comments.

“She really knows her stuff and seems to know everything!”

“She is really supportive and encourages us to find the answers ourselves. She doesn’t spoonfeed us but equally she does not let us struggle.”

“I really like Dr Hall. She is warm, knowledgeable and absolutely passionate about Physics. I think I am at last beginning to understand what the subject is about.”

Lisa has the rare combination of a high level of subject knowledge, a passion for the subject and the communication ability to pitch the work at the appropriate level. She differentiated successfully and set challenging but realistic targets in all of her lessons. She proved to be very popular and well respected by her students, and we were delighted with the impact she had on our students.

I can recommend Lisa without hesitation or reservation.
