Product Information

Until recently, she was one of the UK’s top importers and global online retailers of classic English style rattan (kooboo), dragon and tohiti canes; plus many other implements besides and she still offers help and advice to anyone who asks.

From a pupil’s point of view, I enter Tommy’s mindset. When you’re taken to the head teacher, you’re in trouble. It’s about being a child again.” Although they go in character they tone down the role play - “if you took Tommy Mac to a museum normally I’d be very naughty,” says Carol - and combine the trip with raising money for a charity, to allow them to pass in public without people realising what they are doing. If they are punishing anyone there’s always a senior teacher there to make sure the play is safe,” she adds. Lady Pandora lives in north-west England. She has an affinity to trees and water which often leads her to her beloved Lake District and, when she has time, she reads voraciously. Her only complaint is that there aren't more hours in each day! Miss Livingstone adds: “I find a lot of people want to create the experiences they didn’t have while they were at school. The people who were really good at school are often the naughtiest ones who play the biggest pranks and want to be told off the most.”

As well as attending bi-monthly day schools and boarding weekends, the ‘pupils’ also get to go on school trips to places such as the Natural History Museum and Avebury stone circle. I do at least four hours preparation for every 45-minute to an hour lesson I teach. The lessons are accurate. They’re not taught to degree level but they’ll introduce the ‘pupils’ to new information so everyone will go away having learnt something - we even set homework!” Lady Pandora is one of Britain’s best-known lifestyle and professional Disciplinarians, renowned for her professionalism and experience. She has been practicing for almost 40 years and it is this peerless knowledge and wisdom that makes her so well-respected – she is known as 'The Quintessential Disciplinarian' for good reason. Although Miss Livingstone is open with her friends and family about what she does others, like Carol, are more secretive as they are aware that they may be judged and seen as strange by those not involved.

Lady Pandora is perhaps best known for her strict and particular attention to detail and woe betide anyone who falls afoul of her exacting standards! Even so, whilst being famously severe when the occasion calls for it, she also prides herself on bringing sensitivity and fun to what is a very misunderstood role. You might say her commitment to being a professional and lifestyle Disciplinarian and corporal punishment practitioner is total, and Lady Pandora is happy to confirm that it is not all work and no play! As with everything she does, there are no half measures in this book. We have a book system which says what level of punishment is acceptable to each ‘pupil’. It’s important to make sure that ‘teachers’ aren’t over the top with ‘pupils’.” She is very protective of her ‘pupils’. Because of the corporal punishment aspect, only ‘teachers’ she knows personally are allowed at the school. My son is 19 and he knows about it,” says Miss Livingstone. “I don’t really talk to him about it but if he wanted to ask anything I’d tell him. People in my business life don’t know though. I don’t think they’d be comfortable with it.”
