Harry recently completed a remarkable piece of research and writing on  Samuel Percy Head, a local figure, which has been shared by Rushden Museum, as part of his work experience programme. 

What makes this work so special is not just the historical content, but the effort, care, and determination Harry put into every stage of the project. From meticulously gathering information to organising his thoughts and presenting them clearly.

Harry has demonstrated exceptional research skills, patience, and attention to detail. He navigated archives, read and analysed historical sources, and transformed them into a narrative that is both engaging and accessible.

What stands out most is Harry’s commitment to telling a story that matters. He didn’t just collect facts, he thought about how to bring history to life and make it meaningful for others, showing creativity and empathy beyond his years.

This achievement highlights exactly what we aim to nurture at Isebrook School and across Creating Tomorrow Trust: curiosity, resilience, and the confidence to explore and share knowledge. Harry’s work is a brilliant example of how young people, when given the right support and encouragement, can produce work of real value and impact.

We are incredibly proud of Harry and can’t wait to see what he takes on next. His dedication and hard work remind us all of the importance of celebrating effort, growth, and achievement and not just the end result. Well done, Harry! Your work is inspiring.
