Important News !

Dear IGCSE-ers,

Hang onto your hats 🎩 🧢

I’m writing to let you know some news about the May exams... they’ve just been cancelled, across the world.

Cambridge board will be in contact with teachers in a couple of days to explain how grades will be decided...

Fir now, we presume you will still have to finish the programme of reading.

You will receive your grades and certificates for the work you have done this year.

That said, and I repeat, we will only understand the fuller process at the end of the week.

As teachers we will have to confer and then come back to you and your parents with the organizational details.

For now, know we will continue to work together and that I’ll come back to you very soon with more details.

Kind regards
Mrs C

The Caged Skylark by Gerald Manley Hopkins. Part One

Image
“The Caged Skylark” by Gerald Manley Hopkins As a dare-gale skylark scanted in a dull cage,      Man's mounting spirit in his bone-house, mean house, dwells —      That bird beyond the remembering his free fells;  This in drudgery, day-labouring-out life's age.  Though aloft on turf or perch or poor low stage      Both sing sometímes the sweetest, sweetest spells,      Yet both droop deadly sómetimes in their cells  Or wring their barriers in bursts of fear or rage.  Not that the sweet-fowl, song-fowl, needs no rest —  Why, hear him, hear him babble & drop down to his nest,      But his own nest, wild nest, no prison.  Man's spirit will be flesh-bound, when found at best,  But uncumberèd: meadow-down is not distressed      For a rainbow footing it nor he for his bónes rísen. Gerald Manyley...
