Septimus
Septimus felt that circumstances were limiting his personal growth – and that his professional objectives would be better met overseas.
As a qualified teacher with responsibility in South Africa, his Hourglass consultant knew he’d be a hit in English schools.
There were many factors that made Septimus consider the move to the UK. He lived in a small rural town which is one of the hottest places in South Africa. It is culturally diverse, but limited in terms of infrastructure, entertainment and leisure facilities. In addition, he was living there alone, without a personal support network, and felt he was in danger of getting stuck.

Where will you live?
It may not be rocket science – or even GCSE physics – but deciding where to live in the UK can be a tricky decision to make.
Excellence in the UK classroom
Teachers can often find themselves in a ‘catch22’ situation when it comes to lesson planning. Delivering high-quality lessons requires careful preparation and detailed planning especially if you’re adjusting to the curriculum. However, while managing international relocation as well as a challenging workload, teachers might find planning to be time-consuming and burdensome.
Managing behaviour
At the forefront of a classroom teacher’s mind is the need to prevent disruption and maintain good discipline to facilitate students’ education. There are rumours, though, that not everyone in the classroom shares this objective all the time… Read on to make sure you’re in the best shape to encourage good behaviour in the children and young people around you.
