Lemn Sissay Performance

Course Director of English, Mr Cornick, tells us about an exciting opportunity that took place for some Y9 students, right on Trinity’s doorstep!

“On Friday, 6th October, teachers from the English department and 120 Year 9 students were treated to a performance of poetry by award winning Manchester poet Lemn Sissay at the University of Manchester. From the moment Lemn Sissay walked into the auditorium our Trinity students were captivated and made their presence known with rapturous applause.

Although there were five other schools at the event, Lemn Sissay, (also Chancellor of the University of Manchester – see photo on the next page) was clearly impressed by our Year 9’s enthusiasm singling out our students and giving a “shout out” to Trinity High.
