Miss Oddbod's Office

Miss Oddbod's Office is the personal workspace of Miss Oddbod, the headmistress of Ashton Primary School.
== Description ==
The office is a reasonably large space that overlooks the school playground and contains a large desk, chairs a desktop computer, and several bookshelves. 
=== The Confiscation Cupboard ===
Behind Miss Oddbod's chair sits a large cupboard, which was previously used to store all of the items confiscated from Ashton Primary's students for the school year. This practice was seemingly ended when Horrid Henry and Rude Ralph broke into the office and took back all of the seized toys, as seen in the episode "Horrid Henry and the School Uniform".
However, Henry's yoyo was confiscated three times by Mr Soggington in "Horrid Henry Flicks the Bogey", but Henry took it by using Odour Fartliness, made by Peter. 
* Standard Office Furniture: There is a large desk, which is likely cluttered with papers, files, and perhaps a computer. Behind the desk, there is typically a comfortable chair where Miss Oddbod sits, and across from it, there are usually a couple of chairs for visitors (often students like Horrid Henry).
* Decor: The walls might be adorned with school-related posters, motivational quotes, and possibly some awards or certificates. There could be bookshelves filled with educational books and binders.
