The school is mourning the loss of their esteemed colleague, who was known for her kindness, dedication, and passion for teaching.
A teacher at Rosebery School in Sutton, south London, has been found dead and a man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. Gemma Devonish , 32, was discovered deceased at her home in Nutfield Close on December 19. Police confirmed she and the arrested man, 30, were known to each other and said they are not looking for anyone else in connection with her death.
Paying tribute, the all-girl's school said: 'Our thoughts are with Gemma's mother and sister, extended family and friends, at this deeply distressing time.' Headteacher David Lach added: 'Miss Devonish was the kindest and most gentle of people, who was devoted to her work and loved her students at Rosebery so very much. She was a wonderful teacher who inspired a love of her subject among all her students and went above and beyond to offer her time, expertise and care to the students in her classes and in her year group. This will have come as a terrible shock to students and parents/carers across our community, as it has to all staff, who are finding it incredibly difficult to comprehend that we have lost such a cherished friend and colleague, so suddenly.
