About this time of year, 22 years ago I was heading down south to start my training at the Norland college. My parents drove me there and I couldn't wait to get out of the car and face college life full on. Then as soon as we pulled up to the front door my nerves kicked in, I felt sick and I didn't want to get out of the car.
I can only imagine the nerves on Michael Kenny around about this time. He is the second male in a 120 year history to be accepted into the Norland College. The college ordered him his own special uniform of a tweed jacket and a pair of beige pants, a white shirt and tan neck tie. I bet he has to wear those sensible brown lace up shoes like the rest of us had to as well!
No mention of a hat and white gloves though!
And keeping his hair off his collar is probably not going to be a problem for Kenny.
If you want to see a photo and read more about Kenny and his drive to work with children I can highly recommend this article from the good old Telegraph!

GOOD LUCK TO YOU KENNY!
