There were several areas set out for dining in the canteen.

I first found a table with AA-D. He had placed only two jam tarts on his plate for his main meal of the day. When I questioned this, he explained that it was very difficult living on £14,000 a year.

Later, I went downstairs to see who else was eating there that evening. Here my former colleague, and newly promoted Assistant Principal, GH was in a complete flap. They’d laid out a table as if for Christmas dinner to welcome a selection of pop stars.

The big question was whether or not Olly Murs would turn up after his disastrous concert of two nights before, when he left the stage after only twenty minutes?
