Slatt takes a dislike to him,sticking a notice saying 'Pervert' to Ronald's bottom,and his efforts to retrieve it ultimately lead to Slatt pretending to be gay - though it does afford a grateful Ronald to admit to his mother that he is genuinely gay.

Slatt wants to get rid of Amanda,whom he regards as wholly incompetent,and when education officer Archie Munt arrives at the school he thinks he has his chance. In fact Archie has tracked Amanda down as they have been regularly sending each other erotic emails and they embark upon a night of passion.
