Mrs Willis’ and Mrs Price’s Class (4WP)
Ellis Genge grew up in Knowle West. Like some of the children, he played for Old Redcliffians as a child and now plays for Bristol Bears and the England Rugby team. Ellis has dyspraxia and is known for his very powerful ball-carrying skills and work-rate.
Miss Bluett's Class (4AB)
Myles-Jay Linton leads research into young people’s mental health. He is one of the core members of Kiki Bristol which has created a safe social space for queer, trans, intersex, black people and people of colour across the South-West. He is also a visual artist and illustrator which reflects his work in psychology.
