What Is The Best Thing About The Summer?

The summer can be a fruitful and relaxing season, but what do the teachers and pupils find most favourable about this time of year? Why is it that most people find the summer so favorable (or not so, as the case may be)? There are many people with the views of summer that you would expect, but there are also some very original perspectives here. 


Kalvin Cheung (Yr 10): Football in the sun

Mr. Doyle: Results day


Rob Holden (Yr 12): Ice-creams 


Anthony Muscat (Yr 10): Time to go on holiday


Mr. Crénel: The nice weather and time off to be with my family


James Duff (Yr 10): Barbeques


Mr. Disley: I Hate Summer!


Al Harding (Yr 11): The heat


Mr Price: Sunshine


Ed Harding (Yr 13): Holidays and the sun


Francesca Kooner-Evans (Yr 10): Sitting outside


Tim Bustin (Yr 12): No School!


Ben Row (Yr 11): The sun


Alex Beard (Yr 11): eating chilled ice-cream


Nicholas Ng (Yr 7): Ice-cream


Mr. Lemieux: Holidays and sun anywhere but Britain


Katherine Lemieux (Yr10): On the internet tumblring


Lucy Cole (Yr 13): Freedom!


Tom Ross (Yr 8): Seeing lots of different people


Dr. Galliver: The cricket season


Abby Moss (Yr 10): Holidays. The fact that it’s warm, going to the beach.


Tom Brett (Yr 12) & Harry Dry (Yr 12): Mr. Robbies parties (Cream Pull)


Madelaine Shand (Yr 13): Beach and the sun


Mr. Puchades: I don’t have to teach you lot

Harriet Hammans, Megan Dennis and Francesca Clayton (Yr 10): Eating, travelling and going to different countries.
Harrison Whitworth (Yr 11): No school

Mr. Kirby: The holidays and being free

Henry Ling (Yr 10): As the saffron sun rises (or doesn’t knowing Britain) over the horizon we are reminded of hope and freedom.

Kelvin Shiu (Yr 10): Extended summer homework from my beloved teachers and revision (it will also be nice to escape from the unexpected wrath of the precarious British weather, but mainly the homework).


The summer is the season which most people find pleasurable and we hope from this you can understand why.
