Mr Allsopp (Paulet), in remembrance of Simeon

Simeon embodied all the best qualities in my lessons over the years; happy, bubbly, fun, loud, kind, helpful, intelligent.  He always made a grand entrance into my classroom, ‘It’s alright Sir, I’m here’ and energised the class with his infectious smile and energy. Aside from the occasional and random animal noises, I will always remember his enthusiasm; he couldn’t wait to shout out his answers.  He was so keen to share them with the rest of the group that he didn’t quite think them through, occasionally resulting in a roar of laughter from the class (and Simeon).  I really struggled to compose myself from laughing too!Simeon was a real asset to my DT lessons, he will be forever missed and remembered.
