I have some headcanons upon watching the show as I'm now on the beginning of season 3. (And also some thoughts on Ms. Johnson!!!!)

The matron is a stern and stubborn woman. Over Season two I saw a possible love interest setup with the form teacher. It seemed pretty obvious, but, by the end of it, it was discovery that this wasn't the case. The girls believed she'd been proposed to when in reality the form teacher was bent down on one knee trying to help get a cat out from underneath a desk. (Said cat was found and secretly cared for by a student.)

When she's confronted, she explains she'd "choose a cat over a man any day"

This made me think, Matron is aroace!!!

And that's not the only evidence. In the episode where Georgina has measles, it's a concern that it may have spread to Mr. Parker. He's kept in the Matron's office to recover. She ends up writing a story that is essentially a biography about how she takes care of the girls and wishes to impress the form teacher. She asks Mr. Parker to give her an honest review, to which he admits it's not very good, escribing how diligent she is with the girls but that she is not a writer. Based on her comment about not wanting men, it leads me to realize her writing reflected her want to impress Mr. Parker and be his friend. Essentially, not a crush, but a squish!!

That and in Season 3 she's asked to do a biology lesson on changes in a woman's body. She gets very awkward and doesn't use obvious language. She's clearly uncomfortable teaching the subject, despite being knowledgeable on health topics to care for the girls. Being a sex repulsed asexual myself, I often hate using even medical terms because my brain often makes connections between that and how it's viewed in a sexual light.

Essentially

MATRON IS AROACE!!!!!! Possible microlabels ofc, but I don't know atm.

Finally, very simple, but, BILL IS TRANS + NON-BINARY!!!!

I imagine she still uses She/Her, but I feel she wouldn't mind She/He/They as well!

Also Ms. Johnson is an absolute bitch and I hate her. ESPECIALLY BC SHE KEEPS ESSENTIALLY FUCKING DEADNAMING BILL AFTER BILL EXPLICITLY STATES SHE WANTS TO BE CALLED BILL.

Ms. Johnson is straight up evil I swear.
