The distinctive characters, called Know-it-all-Nicky, Debate-it-all-Derek, Ask-it-all-Ava and Have-a-go-Hugo, were created by a University of Exeter education expert in collaboration with a primary school specialist leader of education from Sir Robert Geffrey’s School in Saltash.
Now, this novel approach to teaching RE has been recognised at the Times Educational Supplement School’s Awards ceremony by winning the Humanities Award.

A lost novel by a popular World War One soldier poet has been discovered in a garage and turned into a play which is soon to be performed at the Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham.
FW Harvey was best known for his poetry and came to be seen as the voice of the Gloucestershire soldier and later of the prisoner of war.
His wartime publications sold extremely well, and for a time he was much better known than now-familiar contemporaries such as Wilfred Owen, Edmund Blunden and Isaac Rosenberg.
A brown envelope found in a garage revealed what promised to be a novel by Harvey...

A take-off on the lobster roll, this sandwich was basically lobster meat on a hot dog bun, together with some lettuce and “McLobster sauce.” Every once in awhile, this product reappears in outlets across the country, only to disappear again.
