Eve Sturridge, a high-flying divorcee and mother of two girls, is head teacher of Ivy House, an Ofsted 'Outstanding' prep school in Sussex. Eve is passionate about her school and its pupils.

Well written but...
Eve Sturridge, a high-flying divorcee and mother of two girls, is head teacher of Ivy House, an Ofsted 'Outstanding' prep school in Sussex. Eve is passionate about her school and its pupils.When Danish power couple, Stefan and Anette Sorensen, jet in and choose Ivy House over other schools, Eve is justifiably proud. The Sorensons are A-listers who bring an aura of style and power to Ivy House, but for Eve and her family, that's when things begin to go wrong.
Like other reviewers, I was drawn to this story because I was a teacher, not only in the public sector, but also in the private and perhaps therein lies my problem with the book. I have yet to meet a headteacher who has time on their hands to swan around and to gossip and have coffee with their secretary. I found the lack of understanding of the education process and of the children within it, too much of a barrier for me to enjoy this book. This is not to say that it is badly written, as it isn't, but perhaps a different subject would be a better fit for the author.
