School's Out

'An utter delight. 10 out of 10!' Harry Mount, editor of The Oldie

A charming gift book of pleas, put downs, misplaced career guidance and character assessments collected from the school reports and memoirs of celebrities and ordinary people from across the UK and Ireland.

Featuring household names such as Benedict Cumberbatch, David Bowie, Sandi Toksvig, Sir Billy Connolly, and even members of the Royal family, this collection will have readers laughing and digging out their own school reports.

Auteur

James Thellusson has written for The Oldie and blogs regularly for several magazines. He went to St Paul's School, London and then York University to read English Literature. After a spell as a journalist, he went into PR. James is a father, husband and bemused Boomer, whose alter ego Man in the Middle blogs against the demands of family life. The spark for this book was lit when he found his old school reports in the attic during the first Covid lock down.
