Here are four fine examples. Great work Jack, Eleanor, Tegan and Harry.

Brilliant essay from Y12 Millie, deftly tackling Social Struggles in The Handmaid’s Tale and Frankenstein. Commendable close analysis combined with excellent integration of @MargaretAtwood ‘s socio-historic parallels concerning oppression. Well done! @HullCollegiate @HCS_English

The bank holiday has Mr Roberts fantasising about past trips in pre-lockdown times...perhaps a little re-editing of his shots? #creativity Well done to Y8 for some compelling dystopian stories, and Y9 for capturing Sherlock Holmes’ voice fabulously! @HullCollegiate @HCS_Art
