Dear Mr Whittock,
I am writing to inform you that I will no longer be able to at the farm boarding house as I am leaving on 18/6/2007 as there is no longer a reason for me to stay at Bridgwater College and Shapwick School as my course has finished. I have attained the grades that I need to attend university. I would also like to take this moment in thanking you and Mr Walker for giving me the chance to work at the farm as it was a great opportunity to revisit the past when I first started at Edington and to get to know the children. They are such a vast array of characters it was a pleasure to work with them.

I also think that this job at the farm is a great opportunity for the senior boarders to earn some money at the school whilst putting something back into the school. As it is not easy to keep a job going at home while we are here, therefore it would be a great privilege for future 6th formers to continue working at the farm throughout the entire year. This would also be a unique selling point to the 6th form on the whole.

I would also like to thank you and all your staff for the support that they have given me over the time that I have been here. I know that without this I would never have achieved the amazing things that I have now. My life at Edington and Shapwick has been an amazing adventure and I can't thank you enough for the opportunities to do so many things that I would never have done if I hadn't come to this school. The skills and achievements that I have gained will stay with me forever and now will enable me to take the next step in my life and go to Plymouth University where I will still remember all the great things that I have accomplished and it has been a pleasure and honour to be a part of Edington and Shapwick school.
