The Accidental Headteacher

By Martin Dale

The Accidental Headmaster is both an odyssey and a coming-of-age story, in German, a Bildungsroman. Occasionally nostalgic, it looks back at a disappearing social and educational landscape, but is a story of social, sexual, moral, political and musical awakening.

Part One concerns itself with Lawrence Utting's journey from bewildered 1950s infant to qualified teacher via a variety of educational establishments. Part Two reaches into the murkier world of institutionalised corruption and whistleblowing.

As for the lessons learned? We all remember our old headteachers, but how would you have reacted to the dilemmas encountered by Lawrie?
