Last week, English teacher Miss Hayes received a wonderful surprise - an update from former student, Grayson! Grayson's hard work has certainly paid off, having achieved incredible Grade 9s in both English Language and English Literature at GCSE. He's now continuing that momentum at Connell Co-op College, and was recently invited to a residential studying English Literature at Cambridge UniversityWe are so proud to see Grayson going from strength to strength. We wish him every success and can't wait to see where his journey takes him next!
