An OA reports on an OA!

Tim Burnett left Arnold in 2000 and is now working as a reporter on the Blackpool Gazette. It fell to him to write an article about the new Robin Hood, Jonas Armstrong OA who left in 1999.


Tim obviously had an interest in writing at an early age as his report from Miss Massey when he was in 3L shows. ‘Timothy’s efforts and the products thereof have been commendable. He has produced lively and amusing, imaginative essays. Well done!’


Jonas took a while to develop and find his main interest, but when he did, in Theatre Studies, his teacher commented, ‘Jonas is very positive and has shown great potential in the practical aspects of the course.’ It’s nice when we get it right!


Tim’s report is here as a PDF, with thanks to the Blackpool Gazette.
