Achievement A-
Effort A
This was always going to be a challenging half term for Brentford after moving up from the C set at the beginning of last season and putting in a huge amount of work to finish near the top. They had to contend with overcoming what was ultimately a disappointing set of marks in their final end of year exams and took a little while to settle back into class early in the term. Pitch Geography was a bit weak to start off, forgetting the basics meant that even a couple of sparks of brilliance from new boy Toney weren’t enough to get the marks against more organised boys from Preston House, and they learnt that selective revision and mark spotting weren’t the best way to deal with Stoke House.
Since then, they’ve shown great improvement in Chemistry and consistently do their homework to a creditably high standard. Their work has been diligent, even if their essays have often been lacking the stylistic flourishes from old boy Said who moved to another school. One has the feeling they’ve gained new confidence that come the end of term exams they’ll not need to rely on the right questions coming up and will have revised carefully as they went along rather than in a last minute flurry of all nighters which took their toll last term.
Here’s to them keeping up the good work and showing that they really do deserve to go up to the top set for next term.
