hello, i don't know how old this is, but hay!
i am in y10 at hvc, and i have to say the atmospheres friendly, we know all the teacher first name, don't call them by that as the school is agains it, the teachers are all friendly (bar the few!)
there has been lots of discussion on uniform, its more stricter than people say but yes is very comfy, primary school-ish, but dent feel young, it allows you your own style, the uniform is any shoes (as far as i know) black trousers, smartish trackys or blue jeans with only a small logo ( no stripes) as for summer we are aloud knee length shorts and skirts, on top tshirt and a sweatshirt, and if u want to look daft, a hvc fleece, anything else, NO and they are strong against it, and u can be sent home.
as smoking, which is the big issue (there was a knife incident but that was out of school, but students knew about it) is terrible, i get off at the local shops and buy some stuff, a drink or some sweets or something and on the way up u get a strong smell, look right and theres ten to 30 students sharing 2-5 cigs, all saying comments about you and blah blah blah, they do it at break and all sorts.
i suffer from asthma so am quite tight on the subject as the smell can set me off, and half the time i aint got my inhaler!
there was once a really bad case, i was sat back right of a class room and a sk (smoking kid) was front left, and he smelt out th whole room, we were all pulling faces at each other over the smell, i asked miss if i could open a couple of windows, she said i could, after that the sk complained about being cold, but our miss said, "be cold, we aint the ones that always stinks" but in the 5 min break we get between our english lessons, he shut the window moaning about my weight (i aint the leanest person, shall we say??) i then opend the window and was of cause threatened that he would "get me" so i opened it and of course it never happened, so anyway, thats my little rant about hvc over!
as for lm, or lady spanners as is the new term for them (theres another but i do not wish to repeat it!!) in primary we would go to bake well pool, then to spanners, were we would use there gym and listen to one of those( as we called it) pervy pete cd's ( a exercise cd nattered by pete somebody that had one of those stereotypical voices that went hello kids! ime pete somebody! are u ready to have some fun doing exercise! we would go no, the cd would then say GReat!) and w would sighn in at the office thingy then we would follow our teacher down these maze of corridors, when i got the harry potter series, any bit about them walking the corridors of hogwarts i imagined spanners, the corridors had steps up to the class rooms, the wall facing the corridor made of glass, like waterloo road but to more of a extent, due to the class rome being higher up the hips of the people in class that were sat down were at a y6 in the corridors head hight, they were also seated on single old tables(looked like those ones you can lift up and put stuff inside)
also, the spanners uniform i find really funny! especially when u see people getting off the bus with there tie loose and there blazers open, although i feel sorry for you in summer!
theres my 2... wait i can't really say its my 2 cents, er.....
theres my $1.50
