Cross Country Trials

Thirty-nine students chose to stay after school on a Friday, in wind and rain, to take part in our Cross Country Trials. Their determination, resilience and commitment were fantastic to see.

Patrick wrote a perceptive exploration of Mary Shelley’s authorial intent, thoughtfully analysing the way she presents Frankenstein’s powerful emotions in a challenging extract.
