Mrs Crowe Head of Performing Arts Acting SENCO
I am actually an ex Fernhill student myself, although this seems a long time ago now! I used to love school, especially Music, Art and Maths and have always been passionate about learning new things and challenging myself. During my Music Degree I decided that I wanted to be involved with education as a career and after teaching Music, PSHE and Law I decided to focus my efforts on Music. When I am not running around after my two little boys, I enjoy seeing family and friends, running, taking an occasional spinning class and playing the flute in a local band. I have set myself the challenge to get better at the ukulele and learning to play the cello is on the ‘one day list’. Email: vcrowe@fernhillschool.org.uk
Mr Heard Senior Assistant Headteacher I was offered the Head of Music post at Fernhill in 1994. 26 years later, I am still here as Mr Kingswood’s Deputy and am as passionate about my job today as when I began. I absolutely love working with the Fernhill community so that I can make a difference. Having taught so many current parents, it is a pleasure to see their children flourish at school. Away from school, spending time with my family is crucial. I enjoy travelling to a variety of countries around the world and, as the students know, I am a Norwich City fanatic!

Mr Lankshear Music Teacher
Although starting out as a classical pianist and trumpeter, I discovered the joys of playing in rock, jazz and blues bands as a teenager - an experience I recommend to any budding musicians. After completing a degree in Music Technology, I worked as a live show producer before the draw of teaching brought me to Fernhill School where I completed my teacher training. I delight in being introduced to new music by students (and providing honest reviews!), and am keen to keep building a strong musical community at the school. When away from school, I can be found exploring the glorious Surrey and Hampshire countryside with my family. Email: jlankshear@fernhillschool.org.uk
Miss Hayely Wright Teacher of Drama “In the Theatre of Life, the Show Must Go On!” Avijeet Das I have been involved in the performing arts sector my whole life, from about the age of 3! I started my training at a vocational stage school, where I was lucky enough to be involved in some TV and film work which was a lot of fun. I then turned my hand to managing a theatre school and teaching both dance and drama, as well as doing some professional choreography on the side! I then decided as a mature student to go and get a first class degree and PGCE in the two subjects I love and have never looked back. Obviously visiting the theatre is one of my favourite hobbies, I guess it would have to be! I also enjoy, cycling, going to the gym, long walks and spending quality time with my daughter, friends and family.
