She talks back, storms out of lessons and has more detentions than any other Year 8 student… ever! 😬 But underneath it all, Angel wants to be good. She wants to fit in, make friends and even win the school baking contest. 🧁 With her mum too unwell to look after her and Angel running out of chances, can she turn things around? 📖 Always Angel by Kimberly Whittam is a powerful story about second chances, friendship and finding the courage to rewrite your story. Will you be picking it up this October? 💙 \#BookOfTheMonth #AlwaysAngel #KimberlyWhittam #ReadingAtMoat #MoatReads #ReadingForPleasure #YoungAdultFiction #SecondChances #Friendship #MoatCommunityCollege [ Apply Now!](https://moat-community-college-compliance.schudio.com/news/2026-09-28-apply-now) [Post 16 Options Event ](https://moat-community-college-compliance.schudio.com/news/2026-10-05-post-16-options-event) ![Moat Community College](https://files.schudio.com/moat-community-college-compliance/images/logo/Untitled_design_(5).png) #### Moat Community College Maidstone Road Leicester Leicestershire LE2 0TU 0116 2625705 #### Useful Links - [Contact Us](https://moat-community-college-compliance.schudio.com/contactus) - [Vacancies](https://moat-community-college-compliance.schudio.com/about-us/staff-vacancies) - [Policies](https://moat-community-college-compliance.schudio.com/about-us/policies-and-procedures) - [HMC Approved School](https://halalhmc.org/schools/?distance=5&lat=52.6333595&lang=-1.1195996&q=Leicester+LE2+0TU%2C+UK) - [Letters Home](https://moat-community-college-compliance.schudio.com/parents-and-students/letters-home) #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://facebook.com/moatcollege) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/115994783/) - [Instagram](https://instagram.com/moatcollege) © Copyright 2020–2026 Moat Community College School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://moat-community-college-compliance.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
