A Sisyphean Task
Narrative

“A Sisyphean Task” follows Lucy, a 23-year-old newly qualified teacher, through her first year of teaching. A bright yet unflinching glimpse into the British school system, all set within the walls of Lucy’s classroom. “This is a story about the vital importance of teachers and the significance of our school years. Everyone and everything within this story has been drawn from reality. Every year, we lose some of the brightest and most talented newly qualified teachers due to the lack of support, structure, and funding in our schools.” – Flind-Henry & Malcher
