Until recently the maths department at the Bishop of Winchester School in Bournemouth was in disarray. With GCSE scores in the low twenties and staff morale poor, the subject needed a shake-up. Step forward Geoff Garnett. Geoff has spent over twenty years in teaching, but the vast majority of them in primary schools, and his relative inexperience in secondary has made his new position challenging. John Bayley works with Geoff as he performance manages Jo Ward, one of his strongest teachers. Jo needs to increase her pace with some of her more able GCSE students, who under the new regime need to get at least Cs. Though Geoff observes Jo teaching a good lesson, can he risk alienating a key ally in his bid to hit exacting targets, by delivering anything other than praise? John Bayley is there to help.
