The headteacher’s office of a south London primary school is
always busy. But today is results day and the phone won’t stop ringing.
Jo, the headteacher of St. Barnabas, knows that the arrival of the
school’s SATs results puts her job on the line. With the future of the
school and its pupils at stake, Jo struggles to maintain order as her
staff and superiors demand answers. Can she protect her students and
herself?
A sharp, wry and timely drama. Set against the backdrop of an
education system in turmoil, Alex MacKeith’s debut play asks what it
means to be a primary school teacher in contemporary Britain.
