It's not often you get to meet the subject of your coursework, but that is exactly what happened to Sheldon Sixth Form student, Dylan. While out in Bristol Harbourside working on his documentary photography project inspired by Martin Parr, he encountered the man himself! Dylan introduced himself and had the chance to discuss work with the legendary photographer.

If you'd like to see the results of Dylan's photo shoot, make sure you check out our A Level Art Exhibition in the summer!

My favourite teacher was Mr Girvan. It was impossible not to absolutely love English if he taught it. He was just the nicest human being and he never raised his voice at our class once and I had him for years from year 8 to year 12.
