A pupil at Nottingham High School recently experienced the ‘Fear’ factor, as his headmaster, Kevin Fear, shadowed him for a whole school day.

‘Give your wicked child some Fear’ was a prize at a recent Auction of Promises, which was held to raise money for a school rugby tour to New Zealand.

Parents of Sixth Former, Charlie Lusty, won the bid and Kevin fulfilled his ‘promise’ by shadowing Charlie all day. He attended Physics, Chemistry, Geography and History lessons, as well as joining his new classmates for a lunch time kick-about.

Charlie Lusty, age 16, said: “I couldn’t believe it when my parents told me what they’d done. Mr Fear definitely fulfilled his promise; he chatted with us at break time and even played football during lunch. I made sure I worked hard and was well-behaved all day.”

Kevin Fear said: “It’s been a long time since I spent a day on the other side of the desk as a pupil, but Charlie and his friends were all good sports. My teaching colleagues all treated me gently! Hopefully having his headmaster following him around all day didn’t affect Charlie’s reputation too much!”
