After a week of being Adam's tutor, the comparison to myself and Alfie Wickers off Bad Education was made by him. Still till this day I never knew whether to take that as a compliment or not. He was such a kind, funny lad, who cared for people so much, everyday making sure myself and Miss French were okay and asking if we'd had a good weekend. I remember countless times having to unsuccessfully hold my laughter back after another inappropriate joke that had everyone in fits of laughter, a grin and a shake of the head would usually do the job! As well as kind, funny and caring he was incredibly talented. Frequently, he would come to me and play a song that he had recorded when playing his guitar. He would wait nervously for my approval and the grin on his face was a picture when I recognised the song, thinking I wouldn't know it at the grand old age of 23!!! Even through lockdown he was finding ways to make me laugh and brighten my day, taking the mick out of my rubbish attempt at learning a language by replying in Spanish. School life for myself, the staff, the kids and the community will not be the same without Adam Barry. I'll Miss You Mate.
Love Alfie Wickers
