This special Omnibus Edition features both of Jacqueline Scott's Collingwood's publications: A Year at Collingwood's; and More Tales from Collingwood's.

When Collingwood's, a small but expensive private school for girls located in the south of England, appoints the elegant 30-year-old Pamela Jameson as Deputy Head, the former lax standards of discipline are replaced by a much stricter regime, and recalcitrant members of the sixth form end up touching their toes or bending over her desk for the application of paddle, cane or slipper on a regular basis. Nevertheless, despite the increase in corporal punishment, following university, many of the pupils return to Collingwood's as teachers.
