As a student, you will write a lot during the course of your time in school. Even then, you will never stop writing as you might be required to prepare some reports in the workplace . That is why is imperative that you take time to understand what is expected of good writing and how you can improve. The skills will come in handy when writing essays as it is something that can’t be avoided in a school set up. We have compiled some of the qualities that make for good writing and we’re going to highlight some of them.

WITCH - an original historical drama presented by Circle of Spears Productions.
Thomas Latimer has accused his destitute neighbour Margery Scrope of witchcraft after tragedy hits his family. Is Margery really guilty - or does Latimer have a darker agenda? And what will magistrate Sir William Tyrell make of the case?

Indeed, research from the APA found that one-fifth of people view the use of technology as a significant source of stress.
It’s hardly surprising then, that more people are attempting a ‘digital detox’ where they ditch the...
