• World War One Poetry

  Fri 02 Dec 2022 Lyla

  The Year 6 children are studying World War One in history and have been looking at some of the poignant poetry written at the time.

   

  Lyla has created her own tribute to the brave soldiers.

   

  I am sure you will agree how sensitive and mature her poem is. Thank you, Lyla.

  

• Hockey Tournament news

  Fri 02 Dec 2022 Mrs Taylor

  Five Year 6 children took part in the level 2 Quicksticks Hockey tournament at the Maurice Chandlar on Thursday 1st December.

  The team represented our school brilliantly showing great determination and passion. We won two games, drew one and lost one meaning we finished third in our group on goal difference. The scores were very close and there were only a couple of points between first and third place. Unfortunately, we didn't make it through to the semi-final but the team should be very proud of themselves. 

• Year 5 & 6 Tag Rugby Competition

  Thu 10 Nov 2022 Admin

  Today we took two teams comprising of seven Year 5 and Year 6 children to the Market Drayton Area School Sports Partnership Tag Rugby Competition at the Grove School where they faced teams from other local Primary schools.

   

  Our B team won two and lost two of their group matches.

   

  The A team won three of their group matches and drew another. In the quarter final they beat Hodnet Primary School. The semi-final was a very close, intense match, which lasted 18 minutes instead of the planned 7!  The team eventually won and progressed to the final, which was another extremely close and well-fought match, with the team scoring the winning try after 15 minutes.

   

  Mrs Taylor said "The children were were fabulous! The perseverance and fight that they showed right to the end made me very proud.  They very much deserved to lift the trophy."

   

  The A team now progresses to the next round of competition in February 2023.  Well done everybody!

  At the start of November, Shropshire Music Service performed to all of the children as part of 'Live Music Week'.  The children were shown a range of instruments from the woodwind and brass families.

• Remembering Her Majesty The Queen

  Fri 09 Sep 2022 Admin

  Following the extremely sad news of the passing of HRH Queen Elizabeth II yesterday, the school will be following the national period of mourning, which begins today and ends on the day of the funeral.

   

  We held a special assembly for the children this morning, to commemorate the life and service of our longest reigning monarch and to explain the period of mourning and what may be involved.

   

  We are yet to receive official guidance regarding the closure of schools at any point but expect that more information will be made available once the details of the funeral have been announced. 

   

  Throughout the period of mourning we will be arranging tributes and activities in school, including specially tailored lessons and a piece of whole school commemorative artwork. We have also opened up a book of tributes which is open to staff and children, in the first instance.

   

  We're sure that the whole school community will join together to honour and remember the life and reign of HRH Queen Elizabeth II, our extraordinarily dedicated, devoted and selfless monarch for the last 70 years.

   

  Thank you ma'am.
