@jayrayner1 a response to your homework article used for Language Paper 2, from Luis: I totally agree. Why are we learning these things if in 20 years we are going to forget them? This means that we will never use them to our advantage; just a number to classify our intelligence.

Our Year 7s thoroughly enjoyed celebrating @writeday with help from the @EngMediaCentre's Write on and Just Write resources. Read some lovely pieces attached!

Hello, @tweetingayesha - my Year 9 class loved your short story The Typewriter, as much as we enjoyed speculating over what was written at the end - do you have any answers you could potentially share with us? Thank you so very much!

You want more excellent writing from Ms. Watkins' Year 8s, you say? Well, we'll see what we can do...

In our Year 7, 8 and 9 English classes today we are celebrating National Writing Day.

Here is a thread to celebrate our students' work!

First up is Ashton in Year 9. Enjoy!

School has finished for the day. Have you checked where your child is & what they're up to? Check in now before they do something they shouldn't.

Watch @lbbdcouncil's film & hear from 2 local parents who lost their children to knife attacks:

Barking Abbey is home to several published authors and they are sitting in some of our classrooms! Several students from Year 9 and Year 10 have worked with Miss Rahman and @writebackuk to publish their own narratives. These stories are available here: https://t.co/3FlT75pfGT
