Post-16 Education Evening

Here's what Templar writers and pupils have to say about Post-16 Education Evening:

• Why isn't it called "Sixth Form Opening Evening", which would be more adequate?
• The heating was immense
• Every subject seemed to be packed into the Drama Studio or W1, which meant huge crowds shuffling around
• The prospectus' introduction was accredited to "R Sherriff, Headteacher". We know the school's into recycling, but this is a bit much!
• It was bloody hot in there
• Revelations about one teacher beating pupils - was it mere joking?
• Subject teachers had a tendency to grab you and shove leaflets in your hands, while explaining why their subject is perfect for all your other choices
• To cool down, one needed to remove their skin (and buy a fan)
  
• Temple Moor is partnered with Brigshaw, but pick Temple Moor, it's ever so great!
• Mr Fleetwood admitted that he'd probably make up good things, but did say Oftsed marked the school's Sixth Form as "good". Hardly brilliant, then?
• Because of so many courses for those who maybe aren't so good at getting GCSEs, there's course which mean you could stay there until Year 15 (which they've just invented)
• You could go to the Sahara at noon and be cooler
• Some pupils found it "informative"
• Low-income households (less than £30,000ish per year) mean pupils get £30 a week, or, as we like to call it, free money!

In short, it was a pro-TMHS marathon, with teachers persuading kids to take their courses. And it was a bit warm, too.
