Glyn Severn's Schooldays

A bustling boarding school awakens in the early morning, its grand dining hall echoing with the banter of boys and the pomp of its distinguished staff. The newly arrived pupils, led by the self‑appointed senior Slegge, clash with the faculty’s old‑fashioned ideals, while the charismatic Principal, Dr Bewley, promises a day of natural‑history wonder that seems to distract from the usual rigors of Latin, mathematics and French.

Against a backdrop of chalk‑lined playgrounds and a looming procession, the story captures the lively hierarchy of masters, the mischievous camaraderie of the boys, and the subtle power plays that shape their daily lives. Listeners will be drawn into the vivid rituals of schoolyard politics, the humor of youthful bravado, and the timeless tension between tradition and the restless energy of youth.
