I currently share a form with another teacher. When I say share I mean it's their form but they only work part time so I take the register when they're not in. Seeing as they register in my classroom I'm usually around anyway so have developed a good relationship with the class.

Next year I might end up with my own form. This would be great but I'll really miss the current lot. I was talking to one of the year seven leadery type people and they suggested I should capture them from their other form tutor - a sort of coup d'form - seeing as they're not in every day. Perhaps I ought to stand in front of them and declare that they have nothing to lose but their chains, though they might think I'm refering to losing their bling.

It's a nice thought but I think the political ructions it would cause in the matsh department wold tear down the classroom walls.
