Needlework and Art Mistress: Lady Jocasta Fortesque
Lady Fortesque is a recent addition to the staff, and has been at the school little over a year. She replaced the previous staff member, Mrs Cathcart, after the police finally caught up with her. At the trial, Mrs Cathcart was called 'an unspeakable menace to civilised society' by the judge during sentencing, which just goes to show what a genteel lady can achieve if she applies herself. It was estimated that she had personally stolen somewhere around three million pounds over a career of nearly thirty years, and as such had been a role model for the St Trinians student body for over a generation.
Lady Fortesque has a more modern approach to her subjects. She has proven to be a charismatic tutor, and is especially popular with the Sixth Form, as she is herself only in her mid-twenties. She was headhunted into the school by Miss Fritton, who was impressed with Jocasta's qualifications: a fashion designer, gifted painter and highly knowledgable woman in the fields of cutting-edge fashion, Impressionist painting, and modern art, she has also been investigated for fraud twice, been arrested nine times, and had one extradition request against her - all of which came to naught, as she happens to be the daughter of a High Court Judge. Her compulsory psychiatric review, undergone when she was fifteen, described her as having excessive criminal tendencies, and being almost incurably sociopathic. This has prevented her from being employed by almost anyone. St. Trinians, however, considered her to be excellent staff material, and snapped her up with voracious eagerness.
