Interesting to here from you Miketually

I use to live in Darlington and teach in Northallerton

Now I teach at Luton Sixth Form College. Looks like your college is doing a great job, impressive stuff

Sadly, recent cuts to funding have increased our class sizes and the hours each teacher has on timetable, plus the support staff we have here have been decimated as they’re simply not replaced as they leave.
