Hi Nicola, I am the Headteacher of a school that is referred to in your excellent book, The Killing Jar. I believe you also grew up in the area. I’m always looking for inspirational visitors to come to our school to demonstrate to our students just what is possible and what opportunities there are for them beyond Bilborough and Nottingham. It’d be great if you would consider coming to meet and talk to some of our current students. I have recently read your book and followed you on twitter. I hope to hear from you.
hi Nicola It’s George we spoke last night at Five Leaves. I think you might find it useful and rewarding to come to the prison at Lowdham. If you agree I’ll get permission from the Director.
best wishes
George

Hi George – sorry I’ve not been in touch. My day job has been manic! I would very much like to do this once lockdown comes to a close and I’ll drop you a line about it soon
