‘Catflap’ was a nickname given to me by a student early on in my science teaching. I taught a girl called Hope who was anything but, so I called her Despair. Her mum loved it, she vowed to come up with the perfect nickname for me. Despair returned after Christmas, ‘Mr Saywell! I have found a nickname for you now, Catflap!’ There is a brand of catflaps called ‘Staywell’. Hence ‘Catflap’ stuck, and here we are today at Catflap Science Tuition!
