Flower Girl - Miss Doreen Brown

Doreen was one of those teachers who made direct contact with Francis. She was teaching in the Newcastle area in 1968 but was not too happy in her school. During that unfruitful spell she was having a chat about the situation with an old college tutor, Zoe Jenkins (lecturer in Religious Education at Newcastle College of Education) and she mentioned that a friend of hers (Janetta Millray) was obliged to return to England from Zimbabwe for personal reasons.

Zoe knew that although Doreen’s main course at college had been RE, she was interested in French and therefore might consider teaching it. So Doreen contacted Janetta who, in turn, gave her Canon Boatwright’s address. And several months later Doreen found herself at St. James! Janetta had shared the schoolhouse by the church with Emmie Bartlett so, after a short spell with the Sisters at Emmaus, Doreen moved into the schoolhouse with Emmie.

Earlier pioneers like Janetta, Sister Madeline and Emmie were already on their way towards the ‘O’-Level course. The secondary school was up and running when Doreen, Eelin and Frank arrived, but there were only Forms, 1X,1Y, 2X, 2Y and one Year 3 form. Doreen taught Years 1 and 2 French and Arithmetic to Junior Cambridge Level. She also taught French and Mathematics to Year 3. Later, after Doreen had left, the school expanded and there was a Year 4 at the end of which the girls took Cambridge ‘O’-Level. She left St James in 1970 and never saw Eelin and Frank alive again. But the work they had done together in those pioneering years contributed to the establishment of the ‘O’ Level course, which had only been in its infancy when Frank took over as head in 1969.

As the more experienced teacher of the two, Eelin assisted Frank the school timetable and also played a bigger role in the organising of the students. At that time the school had about two hundred students and signs of growth in numbers were also beginning to show. The school invested a lot in the first group of girls studying for the Cambridge School Certificate. Francis did further fundraising to provide adequate study materials for the girls. Committed teachers like Emmie also helped those efforts by offering extra lessons in the evenings, giving the girls as much assistance as possible so that they could do well in their exams.
