Book 50 of 2025.
Second (possibly third) time I've read this, but I was surprised how little I remembered. I was expecting it to end differently; and a section I previously found powerful didn't really stand out this time.
Reading (and re-reading) is strange sometimes.

Top man. Would be a credit to any school.
Morning,
A request for help:
I recently moved up north (near Bolton) and I’ve been on supply ever since.
I need a permanent job. Science teacher. 20yrs exp.
Schools don’t always advertise on the TES so if anyone knows anyone, please pass this on?
I’d really appreciate it!
