Welcome to sixth year English!

Look at this door. Have you ever seen a more beautiful door? 

No more travelling the corridors from one end of the school to the next. No more wondering where our class will be. No more traipsing around looking for your English teacher. You will find me in S10 - our brand new English classroom! 

I'm sure you can't wait to help me decorate it ;)
