Chloe, a Pupil at Edington, came from a Primary school in Wales where class sizes reached 35.
Staff at Edington had to first to overcome her loathing of the world at large, and schooling in particular. A very angry, very upset young lady she had been badly bullied in Wales, even by the her headmaster. In one incident she was hung up on a coat peg and allowed to fall on her head. Her mother’s protests were ignored.
Chloe has a younger brother and sister, both now being taught by their mother at home.
“My mother had a big fight to get me into this school, and now she’s trying to get my brother here, too. I just wish he could come. I had three years of misery before Edington. This is a happy school.”
Why? “Because we are all the same here. We all have the same problems. No-one points fingers. No-one sniggers. No-one makes me feel stupid.”
Chloe is in her second year at the school and hopes to go on to Shapwick. She is a school prefect and is in the top flight at Maths and is a girl with ambitions.
“I would like to be a professional photographer like my step-father.”
The school’s well-equipped photo labs could be her stepping-stone
If not a photographer, she wants to be a midwife.
