Kim Campbell is a fictional character in the BBC television programme Waterloo Road, portrayed by Angela Griffin. She left in Series 2, but is back for Series 4, which will be on screen in October 2008.
[edit] Pastoral
Kim is the fair, straight talking pastoral teacher who is always the children's friend. She has many disagreements about how situations should be dealt with inside the school with colleague Andrew Treneman - an advocate for firm discipline. Kim is a valued member of staff and her opinion is respected by both Jack Rimmer and Treneman. She is always the voice of reason, and knows how to deal with the kids and their problems. Campbell is also opposed to, and suspicious of, Chairman of Governors Roger Aspinall and does not agree with his plans for the future of the school, which he was hoping to turn into a state-of-the-art academy.
Kim left for Rwanda at the end of the second series with Andrew. However, she is due to return to Waterloo Road in the future as it was stated in 3x01 that Kim was only on secondment. Angela Griffin was on maternity leave at the time and couldn't film Series 3, but it has been revealed that she will return for Series 4, but it has not been revealed if Andrew Treneman will be returning.
[edit] Personal
She and Andrew Treneman hated each other when he arrived at Waterloo Road but have since fallen in love. She had a nasty encounter with Lewis Seddon when he made sexual advances towards her in the "cooler" (an internal exclusion centre), and had to be persuaded to reconsider his resignation after deciding that she wanted to leave the school; she had come to that decision after the appeal panel reduced Lewis's expulsion to a 15-day suspension on the grounds that they believed she had taken Lewis to the cooler for "reasons other than discipline". However, Lewis still left the school after his family received hate mail from other pupils and parents, and Mr Rimmer had received letters which claimed that Mrs Seddon was committing benefit fraud and had receive a large sum of money in an insurance scam.
