Citizenship Project:
As part of Year 10 and Year 11s Citizenship in Action Project students were required to research an issue that affected our community. The students decided that Poverty in the UK and the use of foodbanks was a very current problem that could affect any one of us.
With the support of their teacher, Kerry Davies, they organised for staff, students and parents to donate items that would then be donated to our local foodbank at Holy Trinity Church. The generosity of everyone who donated was incredible! One of our parents organised for her customers to donate items to her workplace resulting in three huge shopping bags of donations being brought in!
On the Friday we finished for half term our students invited in a representative from Holy Trinity Church to receive our donations who was speechless at the amount of goods our school had collected. She was also extremely grateful on behalf of the whole community for our support.
Well done to everyone who helped make this project a success!

Hear the sirens blaring,
My eardrums tearing,
Fighter jets are daring,
Bombs begin flaring,
Soldiers have their name because they've sold their lives,
You see the swarm of enemies attacking like hives.
Hiding in their shelters, the whole world spirals like a Helter-Skelter,
Everyone has independence, but yet people send missiles for them,
Why would you travel the miles just to war with them?
Just let communities be happy and free,
Tanks, guns explosives going on a killing spree.
Blood, sweat, tears, crying on the corpses of their peers,
They see straight into the plans they must be seers,
Is this really worth the millions of lives?
Men going to war can never return to their wives,
Moms losing their sons, kids losing their dads,
Because of shooting back and forth at a different group of lads.
Money disappearing, hyperinflation,
People staying in underground stations,
All over the battlefields, death after death,
Breathing heavy like dogs, panting, breath after breath,
They'll fight till they're dead, souls in the floor,
One argument means years and years of war.

In many way, people that lack concentration aren't naughty people. Alot of people lack concentration for many reasons and everyones reasons are different. My main problem is staying focused.
​
Being able to stay focused would help me in alot of ways: getting better grades, stop me from getting in trouble and getting rewarded for my good work.
​
To be able to stay in a lesson without getting distracted would be wonderful. My worse problem is people,
Talking,
Loud noise
Distractions.
All these make me loose my focus, I can't think when people are loud. I end up talking with everyone else. All of it is DISTRACTIONS!!!!
​
I had to move from mainstream education. There was a large number of pupils in a class. There are loads of negative feelings with me being in a mainstream. A couple are people walking in and out the class like animals. Shouting and talking none stop and people just distracting you with constant prowling around the room. All of these lead me up to losing concentration and getting in trouble.
​
I'm not angry with the teachers.....people may think why? However, the teachers helped me get away and find me a better place, and that place is Impact.

DESCRIPTIVE WRITING YEAR 11

Racism just means you're scared,
You're just a victim of brain wash around the world.
No-one should be scared or afraid,
The right choices need to be made.
The laws on racism need to change
Just because of your skin, you shouldn't feel strange
Or afraid to leave the house, or not fit in,
True beauty is found within,
Not because of the colour of your skin.
We need to unite and stand together,
And make the world a better place forever.
No matter what you may say,
We will all have to unite and stick together for the rest of our days.
