It’s 1969 and Jack Sheffield is a young teacher in need of a job. In a room full of 29 other newly qualified teachers, he’s overjoyed when he’s appointed to Heather View Primary. Located on the edge of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, he’s excited to start the year and begin shaping young minds in a new location.
But Heather View isn’t as idyllic as it first sounds. In fact, it looks more like a prison than a primary school. With less than adequate funding and a headteacher who doesn't seem to care, it’s no easy task to give the children the education they deserve. But Jack’s determined to do just that.
Full of warmth and good humour, Back to School is like taking a nostalgic walk through the past to a simpler time.
