Mr Reynolds would like to recognise the following students for their excellent work in English so far;
Sophie Alston-Forrester (10n1)
A fantastic commitment to the subject from lesson one. Sophie has worked hard to ensure she understands every detail of the exam and how to squeeze the most marks out of each answer. Her book is meticulously presented to show the different structures she uses and her hard work is paying results in the marks she is getting.
Lucie Farrington (10n1)
Lucie’s efforts in lessons to reflect on her own work and see how she can improve it are fantastic. She is clearly understanding the key skills she needs to target using the WT and RT codes in her work and producing some exceptional paragraphs and answers. She has put 100% effort into every lesson and this will pay huge results for her in the next couple of years.
Ben Tinker (10n1)
Ben has quietly gone about achieving some great results in English this year. His book is a clear demonstration of the hard work he puts into every single task without fail. His last assessment has shown the progress he has made since Year 9, despite all the external factors that have been happening in this time. A fantastic start to Year 10.
Denay Openshaw (9n3)
Denay’s creative writing has been spectacular this term. The progress she has made in the last few weeks has come from hard work, listening to feedback, and a passionate desire to improve. Her last assessment showed some of the best improvements in this skill I have seen. She has worked to craft some beautiful language with wonderful sensory imagery and a range of language techniques.

Mr Lloyd was very impressed with Maia Kay‘s English creative writing piece. Here it is below for you to enjoy;
Alone, isolated, abandoned: trapped in a place in the unknown trying to survive. Snowflakes danced through the air as they each embedded the ground below, forming a blanket of white crystals that sparkled in the moonlight. The coldness of the air travelled up your spine, the tingling sensation on the tips of your fingers as you felt the icicles melt down your frozen fingers.
A chilled misty air fills the lungs, creating a tightness and fear to breath. The hills covered in a thick layer of mist, a hazy fog was setting in. There was just one light flickering in the distance, dancing in tune with the cascading snowflake; apart from a fire, burning in the shelter, giving off a warm glow and an invitation to enter – a complete contrast to the world outside.
Not a sound could be heard, an eerie silence echoed all around.
There was nothing.
Mr Welch would like to say a big thankyou to EVERYONE during their PE lessons for adapting to the new COVID PE procedures with such positive and mature attitudes.
