I have greatly enjoyed being the form tutor for 11M. When we first met two years ago I was warned that they were a "Nightmare class" but this couldn't be further from the truth. On the whole, they have been pleasant and co-operative and great to work with. Okay, so "Silent reading" was not always silent and who can forget the "Mobile phone outbreak" in Year 10. On the whole, I have had no complaints.

In terms of personalities, we have had our fair share. Sam and Craig decided that theirs were just too large for Canon Palmer and left. James Worrell and Jonathan can't make up there minds whether they're in school or not and Alex is only in half-days. Anthony Phillip has become a reformed man recently, being in both morning AND afternoon registration whilst Adrian Harvey has now become mobile and is having 'Too much bother with his bike lock' to get in on a regular basis.

As you can see, there is somewhat of a boy/girl divide in terms of attendance and I must say that on the whole, the girls have won hands down, with many of them never missing a registration. Not to suggest that they are a less interesting bunch. I have to dodge Katherine putting her foot in the classroom door, trying to sell me Double Glazing each morning. Where would I be without Chantel's therapy sessions each day or Carly saying "I ain't late, it's only five to nine"?

I have to thank Rebeccah, Hannah and Adanma for compiling and typing out the class contributions and to everyone else too normal to mention elsewhere for their contributions.

In the words of Tim Murray, "Have a Nice Day!"
