On a very exciting evening at the Corbet School, our Indoor Athletics squad gave it their all against 6 other local schools. All of the children took part in either/both field and track events, which all contributed to the overall score at the end of the competition. When the positions were announced, the Girls team (Lily K, Maddie, Cassie, Ruby, Chloe, Zoe, Georgia and Merci) finished in 4th place whilst the Boys team (Charlie, Rhys, Toby, Harvey, Henry, Alfie, Oliver, Harry and Reuben) finished in 2nd place, narrowly losing out by 2 points to the winners, St John The Baptist, Ruyton XI Towns. A great effort from all of our pupils, who supported their team mates really well throughout!

The following children have qualified through to take part in the North Shropshire Cross Country Qualifiers. A huge congratulations for your efforts!

A big thank you for all the teddy and book donations today. The non-uniform donations, loose change collection and  teddy / book sales made a total of over £200, which beat our 2017 amount of £196. The school council children should be really proud of themselves as they came up with all of the ideas and helped enormously during the day!

Thank you to the parents who transported the children to the 3rd Cross Country event after school today at the Corbet School. Yet again we had a great turn out, with 22 pupils braving the cold, damp conditions to perform to the best of their ability. Charlie (Y6) continued his high standards with another 1st place position, whilst Dylan (Y3) produced another excellent run in 2nd place.Other top 6 positions this week included Zoe (Y4) in 5th place and Rhys (Y4) in 3rd place. However, a big well done to all of the other children who have attended all three events so far and shown great dedication and bravery throughout.

The final event will take place next Tuesday.
