Our students at Ashford School have had an incredibly challenging year and yet have risen to every difficulty, every disappointment and every struggle admirably. I think this can be seen in every page of this magazine, that our students have put aside their worries for the world and created from it, something beautiful. They have crafted worlds, been inspired by their class texts, painted and designed beautiful things and mused on the state of important topics. This is not to say that what is in this magazine are the only pieces of outstanding work our students have produced, but more of a snippet of the students' endeavours to ‘shake off’ the things they cannot control and instead take a moment to dream, to think and to reflect on the things they can.
