On
these pages we are going to showcase some of the best work from our students.
If you are on here guys (and girls) then well done!
Ted - who has struggled with both Maths with Mike Grantham and English, with
his tutor Mrs Hunt, is really starting to improve. Reproduced below is an
edited version of his poem, written for remembrance day, for his tutor, Mrs
Hunt.
The original still contained quite a few spelling errors, which have been
corrected below (though many, many fewer than he would have done prior to
tuition). The sentiments are all his, however!
The Great Army
They march for days, trapping
their fears, trying not to think would it would be like.
Looking back at home, tying
their ties for Sunday school and their mothers in joy at their first day of
school.
The apple pie after a roast
dinner: the chicken, turkey, lamb, running in their mouth so sweet and juicy
1234 that’s all they say for
days, so far they hear the shells of the enemy fire, looking up at the moon and
the stars, hoping that their mums and family are looking down at them and
smiling and crying at the same time.
They say why, why did I join,
but then they say, “it was for the good of my country and the world.”
They think of when they were
young riding their bike round the block; the eagle on their sleeves saying that
they are real men and they have courage in their hearts.
We remember them as heroes and
real men who fought for their country and the world - if they didn’t come when
we called we would be gone.
The poppies grow for them, so
we can wear them and so we can remember them.
Edward Rigden, November 2009.
River, who is becoming more and

Foundation Maths paper, on which he scored 80%! What is so good about his
work is the clear working used to arrive at the answer - something that many
pupils struggle with
