Just a few words of introduction from me, chair of the Year 9 leadership council. Here at Forward Academy we’ve been chosen by the chief, Ten Babes Ruth, to pilot an exciting innovation in child-centred education.

The idea is simplicity itself: we test you, the teachers, to see if you’re up to our standards. For meaningful assessment and to aid learning outcomes and self-evaluation, we will be checking your results against the CAT - SAT (can ancient teachers send a text?) scores we collected last term.

First of all, let’s check that everything is transparent round here.

Our heavies, specially borrowed from Year 11 of GoGold specialist sports college down the road, will be patrolling the aisles looking for contraband books, pencils and other 20th century aids.

To repeat: you are allowed only mobiles and palmtops with superspeed internet access. The only exception to that rule is Mr Block, head of resistant materials, who has special dispensation to use a laptop because of his obese digits.
