Village Teacher by Jack Sheffield
It's 1980: recession and unemployment has hit Britain, a royal wedding is on the way, and the whole country is wondering Who Shot JR. Jack returns for his fourth year at Ragley-on-the Forest School, and there's a definite chill in the air. Village schools are being closed down all over the place - will his be one of them?
Jack Sheffield was born in 1945 and grew up in the tough environment of Gipton Estate, in North East Leeds. After a job as a 'pitch boy', repairing roofs, he became a Corona Pop Man before going to St John's College, York, and training to be a teacher. In the late 70s and 80s, he was a head teacher of two schools in North Yorkshire before becoming Senior Lecturer in primary education at Bretton Hall near Wakefield. It was at this time he began to record his many amusing stories of village life. He lives in York and Hampshire. Visit his website at www.jacksheffield.com.
