So we're closing. What to so next? Foundry and forge work is all I know, but do I really want to have to move to find work, or even work abroad? Not if I can help it. My family is settled any my kids are doing GCSES and A levels at the moment- not a good time to move. So what else is there? Well at the back of my mind I've always been attracted to teaching S¹ and I love physics, so why not put the two together? I could teach physics. I couldn't do it without the redundancy windfall to help us through the training period, and I would kick myself if I didn't try it. So lets go for it.
I start postgraduate course to teach secondary science and physics to a level in September. So if in years to come your children come home and tell you they've got some nutter called Mr Calvert teaching them science S¹ well you know the story.
