Mike Law decided to change careers a year ago but stayed to ensure his GCSE students finished their exams.
A teacher who won £2 million on the National Lottery has walked down the school corridor for the final time as he pursues his dream of writing novels.
The 52-year-old said: “How many people have wanted to change careers but found themselves in a rut and unable to take a leap of faith? “Having been through a tough few years, like many, and losing close family members just before the win, including my Mum, I realised life is very short and I had been given an unexpected opportunity.”
While admitting he “wasn’t a very good pupil” at school, Mr Law has retained a love for history after being given a book about the medieval Anglo-Saxon burial site, Sutton Hoo, which got him “hooked” on the subject. Mr Law has travelled past the site hundreds of times on trips to Wales and thought it was the perfect place to cite his story.He said: “It’s set in Roman Britain in AD199 and is based around a group of legionaries and their adventures in and around Wroxeter in Shropshire; it is an historical adventure novel with a dark twist.
Mrs Law said: “We are very much the same, normal family. We no longer have the worry of a mortgage, which is a huge relief, but we want to remain grounded.
