Why I didn’t fail my O levels is beyond me as I read many texts except those proscribed.

I used to attempt to read FAZ in German in the reading room to appear intellectual!

I can smell the Reference Room from here and still hear the Peacocks calling at exam time each summer.
The staff were wonderful and so tolerant of the Nunthorpe and Archie’s 5th & 6th forms each summer.
No, it should stay in local authority control.
