Sean Evelegh, Bethany School
This October, Sean, a Year 13 pupil at Bethany School, will be joining 80 of the fi nest young furniture makers showcasing their incredible craftsmanship at the Young Furniture Makers Exhibition. Sean, who aspires to be a cabinet-
maker, is nominated for the School Design Prize in recognition of his incredible coffee table project completed as part of his Year 12 coursework. This isn’t the fi rst time Sean’s work has gained him recognition; a chess side table completed for his GCSE coursework won the award last year, not to mention an A* for his GCSE in design
and technology. Bethany has always encouraged pupils to use the full extent of their imagination for their work, and Sean affi rms this: “With the great facilities and teaching help at Bethany, you feel that you can make anything.” You may think that this attention to detail and focus would make Sean a reserved character, but certainly not. He’s full of energy and this has also allowed him to put his creative fl air and precision to acting, with leading roles in drama productions at Bethany School as well as his local drama group. In fact, his personality is offi cially award-winning,
earning him the dubious honour of the ‘Cheeky Potato Award 2017’ while showcasing his impressive chess side table at this year’s national Big Bang STEM (Science Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) competition, which took place at the Birmingham NEC. Now in his fi nal year and undertaking
his biggest project yet, everyone at Bethany School can’t wait to see what Sean will come up with next.
