IN an appropriately organic fashion, James Dalton has grown out of school and into work.
The green-fingered 14-year-old is working at Grimston Bar Nurseries, developing his own garden business and studying at home for his GCSEs.
Tadcaster Grammar School and York Training Centre have shown impressive versatility by allowing James space outside the classroom to blossom.
James must take credit too. There are many 14-year-old boys who grumble about school, but few have the drive to do something about it.
