Thank you Mr Collin. Lots from Greencroft days has faded now, but I still have so many good memories of English lessons with you.
Your passion for language and your love of learning were so evident and that's what made your lessons so memorable and meaningful.
That I can spell - I attribute very much to you!
Understanding how the English language works helped me with studying French and other languages which I also loved.
Being a book worm.
Enjoying Shakespeare.
Being able to stand up and speak in front of a room full of people.
All of these go back to your lessons.
Thank you so much.
I hope your family take great comfort from reading comments here of the wonderful legacy you gave to us.
In gratitude and thinking back to happy school days...
Sarah

RIP Mr Collin. You taught me during the years 86-89 and you were by far my favourite teacher. I had so much respect for you and my love of English came from your passion for teaching it. Sleep well.
