A series of anecdotes, tragic, humorous and occasionally embarrassing ,from my career as a headmaster in primary schools in some of the most deprived areas of Leicester.
Views: 1169 | Enquiries: 4Leaving school at sixteen I trained as an accountant but following National Service I decided that I wished to teach. On leaving RAF I taught in a small primary school for two terms as an unqualified teacher. I then trained at Loughborough Teacher Training College to become a P.E teacher. However, upon qualifying I decided that I preferred the younger age group and therefore took up a post at a junior school in Leicester. Thereafter I taught in several primary schools in some of the poorer districts of Leicester, serving as headmaster for 21 years.
Since retiring we have moved to Surrey where I am able to continue my hobbies of gardening, golf and watching sport.
All my talks are a lighted hearted journey through my career in some of the most deprived urban areas in the Midlands. Each talk covers events that I have experienced, some tragic, some humorous and some very embarrassing (for me).
Unfortunately, age now limits distance travelled to 50 or so miles from Redhill
