Taylor's Preparatory School

Overview

Richard poses as Headmaster of Taylor's Preparatory School to interview would-be teachers. He is looking for teachers who can push these privileged pupils to be the best. This involves various hellish exercises including marking, in which the candidates are encouraged to look at the weak points of Shakespeare and see where Michaelangelo could have done better. A tour of the staff room with its foam replica pupil, swearword wall and a machine for shouting practise is the culmination of a rollercoaster ride that would turn the education secretary's knuckles white.
