Miss Kennedy

Miss Kennedy is a History supply teacher at St Clare's. She appears solely in the book The Twins at St Clares.

Miss Kennedy is standing in for her friend Miss Lewis while she is ill. She takes on the job so she can support her sick mother. The girls play tricks on her, and frighten her with a cat, Sooty. She goes into town for tea with her friend, Miss Roper, and laments to her about the girls and her mother. She is secretly overheard by Pat and Isabel O'Sullivan, and Kathleen Gregory, who immediately organise an apology for Miss Kennedy for their behaviour. Miss Kennedy is also understanding and doesn't tell tales about their midnight feast. When she was young she too had midnight feasts.

Miss Kennedy leaves at the end of term when Miss Lewis is better.
