Miss Deborah Morton
Unfortunately for Debs it was not the first time
in her life that she had found herself branded as a
hostile and singled out for prejudicial treatment.
Unlike Joanna, whose school had not practiced
corporal punishment; Deborah Morton had a long
acquaintance with the cane. Her mother had been a
former pupil of the original Woody School and when
her alma mater had closed down she had sought out
a boarding school that was run on equally strict
disciplinary principles. Deborah was dispatched to the
Queensgate Academy for Young Ladies.
At Queensgate Debs would gain a reputation
as an academic wunderkind, she was selected to play
clarinet with the National Youth Orchestra, and
quickly rose to fame as the number one female tennis
player in the country.
However, a review of the school’s punishment
record book demonstrates that all that’s gold does not
always glitter.
