Name: Mr Gascoyne (Michael Gascoyne)

Age: 42 (born on the February 22^nd)

Hobbies:

·         Reads a book before he goes to bed, prefers fiction but still like to read non-fiction.

Family: Married to Shannon Gascoyne and have 2 children, a boy called Mike who is 14 and a girl called Janice who is 10. Shannon is currently 39 and an ex-teacher at Christopher’s school (she worked there before he started); this is how she and Mr Gascoyne met. They married when she were 25, (3 months before Mike was born). Four years later she was pregnant again and gave birth to Janice at which point she quit her job to be a house wife. When Mr Gascoyne reached the age of 34 he promoted to the principle of the school. Mike is currently in year 10 at studying drama as a GCSE (which is what give Mr Gascoyne the idea to turn Christopher’s book in to a play) and Janice is in year 6 preparing to move up to secondary school.

Personality: Very laid back about his work and life, not the type of person to get stressed about things in his life. He is a family man who cares deeply for his children and wife. He’s a realistic man that doesn’t aim to high or low which is why he was against Christopher doing his A-levels early as to him he can’t see Christopher passing the test.

Presentation: Mr Gascoyne is always a well-dressed man, for work he wears a blue shirt with a grey suit jacket and trousers. He wears shiny black shoes (polished every day after work), a pair of reading classes in his suit pocket when not on his face and a black tie with blue stripes. He always stands tall in a neutral position with hands at his side and looking straight ahead. He walks with a slight bounce and his arms move parallel to his legs. He speaks very slow carefully pronouncing each word correctly.
