My mother, Daphne Garcia Lora, who has died aged 98, was a secondary school teacher known for her calm authority and generosity that shaped generations of pupils. During her long career at King Edward VI high school for girls in Birmingham, she rose to become head of modern languages, overseeing Oxbridge and Ucca (now Ucas) admissions. She took great pleasure in the success of her pupils and contributed to the school's academic reputation for excellence.
