Thrust into a close-knit community where pupils know more about sheep than arithmetic, Tom must find his feet among a motley staff. Add in a sparky rivalry with the stand-offish Miss Janette Fairborn and a run-in with the squire’s son, and Tom’s first term becomes a true baptism of fire. Tales Out of School — After an eventful start to his teaching career, Tom hopes for calm, but village life has other plans. Nursing a broken heart and intent on keeping his head down, he’s soon distracted by a striking London artist who moves to Risingdale — and by her precocious, frail son who joins Tom’s class. The novel blends gentle comedy with touching moments of human connection, perfect for readers who enjoy emotional, character-led stories. A Class Act — Change arrives when long-serving headmaster Gerald Gaunt retires after more than thirty years. As he looks for a successor to protect the school’s warm traditions, Mr Smart steps in with very different ideas. Tensions rise, friendships are tested and the staff must navigate both professional and personal dramas in this affectionate look at life in a village school.
