Scribblings: Diary of a Head Teacher (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781839193873)

"It was the worst horror film I had ever seen, and I was in it! It wasn't until his leg fell to the ground with a resounding thump and bounced for a few feet, did I realise that Nathaniel's leg was a prosthetic."

Being the head teacher of a primary school sounds like the ideal job. But it's not all playing with toys and going home at three in the afternoon.

From parents fighting in the playground to the toilets spewing out raw sewage and contaminating the school, a head teacher's day can range from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Filled with life, laughter, tears and tantrums, Scribblings journeys through the battles of leading a primary school in one of the most deprived areas in the country. Where the struggles are immense, but the rewards are priceless.

Come inside and witness firsthand what happens once the school gates are closed.
