Thousands of entries were received throughout the land of the United Kingdom but only a select number of entries would be published. work was selected for publication based on students imagination perception and creative use of language. The school was therefore delighted that 33 shining Knights entries were chosen for publication this not only highlighted their creativity command and air in the battlefield of writing but also showed what could be achieved when the supreme Masters of Learning the english department nurtured the Knights abilities to use their sharp double edged sword the pen The King of Handsworth grammar school His Majesty Mr Bird and the rest of the inhabitants would like to congratulate all the young Knights who participated in the competition particularly those Knights who had their work published. The pen is indeed mightier than the sword Mr Dubay as it turns out the horizon actually stretches quite a bit further than the walls of Hgs. if someone had told me when i was there that i would use my a-Levels to first do a degree in archeology to then go on and do an internship with a sailing company in africa i would have backed slowly away from the crazy person. But here i am three and half years out of sixth form and having to use my History english Literature and Biology a-Levels to teach ex-pat kids and my dT a-Level to repair a boat and all part of the same job. wonderfully just picking subjects you enjoy isnt an altogether insane career path instead it has led in a roundabout way and with the help of friends to doing a job i love.
