Year 8 and 9 Students enjoyed a visit to Newcastle under Lyme college on Monday 25th November. They were welcomed by college staff who gave an interesting talk on further education choices and showed a video on the facilities at both of the Newcastle and Stafford college sites.

Mrs Payne wanted to showcase Year 9 after they did some super work on enlargements this week!

Will recently attended Barlaston Cricket Club’s presentation evening. Will has been playing for Barlaston for two seasons and despite having disappointment with his batting this season his bowling has gone from strength to strength. At the presentation evening Will was presented with three trophies, the Under 13’s Bowling Award, an award for his first Six Wicket haul and also the prestigious Outstanding Achievement/Performance Award for the whole of Barlaston C.C. Junior Section. Very well done, Will!

Year 9 completed their study of vocation to married life this week, by hosting a wedding fair in the RE room. Today the average cost of a wedding in the UK is £20,000, with money spent lavishly on outfits, venue and catering.

This week Primary 4 have been celebrating Black History Month, through art, role play and literacy. They have found about some truly heroic people, who have each made a significant change to our world today. They then shared their findings and knowledge with Primary 3 during their shared learning session.

Year 7 students enjoyed an exciting, and unusually dry, day at Alton Castle on Thursday 17th October.

On Wednesday 16th October, Year 9 Geography students presented their homework projects on River Drainage basins.

On Monday 7th October, Year 9 enjoyed a visit to Cannock Chase. They had a rather muddy walk to the stepping stones area of the brook, crossed the stepping stones and had a picnic lunch.

World Mental Health Day was held on the 10th October 2019. 

All children and staff in the Prep and Senior departments took part in the #HelloYellow for Young Minds. Everybody looked very bright because they were wearing a yellow accessory in addition to their school uniform, which included hair bobbles, ribbons, socks, ties and hats.

 On 23rd September, Primary 5 & 6 embarked on their 3-day residential adventure trip with The Bushcraft Company, to Cholmondeley Castle in Cheshire. The grounds of this 19th-century castle were the perfect backdrop for a fun-packed residential trip where the children were accompanied by Mrs Talbot, Mrs Shelton & Mrs Wheatley.

Here are some snippets from the children:

What a scary bunch of Minotaurs we have!  Primary 4 had lots of fun making their minotaur masks, after listening to the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur.
