Ackworth school

A few videos I took around Ackworth school, when I was in the 6th Form from 2006-07. It was an amazing place, and I loved every second of it. Everything was special, from the trips abroad, to the after school socialising, to the study room chats and the tea and toast breaks (ESPECIALLY the tea and toast breaks!)

To Old Scholars like myself, I feel privileged to have been to be classed as amongst your ranks. To present students, enjoy all the time you have at Ackworth, it's a very wonderful place.

@yandotcom Nah, not really - Only that I got into the Pogues whilst I was at Ackworth, so it reminds me of it. Fun fact though - the accordian player in the Pogues went to Ackworth :D

It was my 6th form, which I think is a high school in the US :P The music is a modern take on Irish folk lol :P The last song during the credits is English folk :D

HAHA when I first saw that wooden structure I thought it was a trebuchet, you can imagine my surprise when I saw Mat sitting in it! I accidentally hit Mat with a board marker that I had launched at someone who was annoying me when I was taking prep...Sorry Mat! This is a nice video, I'm glad people still get up their antics at school. Sam.

@Bexby I was hoping to surprise you with the same fun fact! Ackworth is like a family, a few old scholars have really helped me out recently, a funny kind of bond that lasts forever and without judgement, a good place to have been
