Like most of her charges, Lisa Dunwood lives within a few minutes’ walk of the primary school in Stogursey village, near Bridgewater, Somerset, where she has been teaching since 1997. There’s no hiding in village life. The moment she came on stage, convincingly dressed as a fairy, in the Stogursey Strollers’ production of 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears', up went the cry: 'Look, it’s Miss Dunwood!' As expected, the entire school were in the audience, so she made sure her pantomime jokes were suitable for young ears. Born in Coventry in 1970, she was educated locally before going to Nottingham University to study agricultural science and European studies, which included a year in France. A one-year postgraduate course in education at Lincoln Bishop Grosseteste College was followed by three years teaching at a Coventry primary school.
