Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Change is in the air for Jack Sheffield and the Ragley village school.

It's 1987, and after a decade as head teacher at Ragley-on-the-Forest School, Jack Sheffield is looking to the future. He and his wife are expecting a new baby, the school is preparing for the introduction of the new National Curriculum, and the coming year promises a whole host of other surprises. Whether it's combing the church for an escaped pet mouse or dealing with the obnoxious new school governor, life in the village is always entertaining.

So when Jack is offered an opportunity that could change everything, he knows he has a difficult decision to make. Endings are never easy, but perhaps the thrill of a new beginning is exactly what Jack needs...

Hilarious, nostalgic and heart-warming in equal measure, Last Day of School is the final novel in the much-loved Teacher series.

Brilliant

A moving end to the Teacher series. I have listened to all of the books many times and feel sad that they have come to an end. Looking forward to what Jack Sheffield brings out next.

Great Listen

I’ve been waiting in anticipation for this last book in the series and it was worth the wait.

I will miss Jack and Ragley.

I urge you to listen to this series from the beginning. Such a great series.

Come on Jack - where are we going next ??

Antidote to 2022

Just joined the Jack Sheffield fanclub, and already scanning the list for my next listen. Comfortable, uncomplicated and funny.

Loved listening to this audio book

Another enjoyable story from Jack Sheffield. Funny, sad and at times poignant knowing this is the last of his tales as a headmaster at Ragley school. I will miss listening to his stories of the people and school.
