I love my staff! Here's the latest impromptu creation – a rap by one of our teachers, David Bignell. Enjoy!

Online learning’s where I found my space,

Students shine bright, working at their own pace.

Traditional schools? Sometimes they don’t click,

But here they thrive, it’s a whole new trick.

Watch 'em come in, doubting what they can do,

Then leave with the quals, yeah, dreams come true.

Online vibes, we’re breaking the mold,

Lessons personalized, stories unfold.

Games, vids, tools that inspire,

Learning ignites like a digital fire.

The tools are stacked, the options wide,

Education’s here for every stride.

Games and videos, content to explore,

Students engage, they’re asking for more.

Apricot’s mission? It’s all about growth,

Building self-esteem, giving students hope.

It’s not just syllabus, it’s deeper than grades,

It’s about the progress, the path they’ve made.
