¶ Miss Whitaker
Miss Whitaker is a maths teacher from Newcastle, she enjoys soup, gravy, Greggs and velociraptors, and can do a flawless impression of one. She likes giving a rainforest's worth of Corbett Maths/Dr Frost booklets as homework. She dislikes spelling, missing out questions in booklets and people who have never watched Frozen (her favourite movie).
She is often seen in and around the maths block and always wears high heels, so you can hear her coming down the corridor from miles away, giving everyone time to put away their phones and sit down (not that many people do). Also, she appears to have superhuman skills that allow her to instantly clear a pathway between students, especially down the stairs in the Maths block, and even at the busiest times in the school day, so stay right behind her if you're in a rush. She often says "yous" instead of "you" and always asks if anyone needs help every 30 seconds (no one ever does).
