Mr Jackson

Head of Science

Hmm...not much is yet known of the mysterious being that is Mr Jackson.

He is not often seen outside of his office where he derives great pleasure from having brews. This is one of the only known things about him, and explains why he is seldom in his physics lessons.

He delivers his lessons and at such a fast pace that sometimes even he does not follow what he is talking about. He pauses only to say "okay" and "you got that?", when it's blatantly clear nobody has a clue. He often veers off at tangents, but people tend not to notice as the tone of voice and the pace of his speech do not alter.

Has been known to hit a student with a pair of goggles round the head apparently accidentally
