Now, let’s celebrate the first student to collect their outstanding work! This incredible Art of Architecture project was created by former Year 11 student Caitlin Jones. Her drawing and clay skills are truly inspiring – a fantastic example of the creativity and dedication shown by our students! πŸ‘βœ¨

Marches School’s Fun Friday Crew wrapped up the last half term with a hilarious and high-energy challenge for 9LJ! Three brave volunteers were wrapped from head to toe and shuffled their way across the room in a race to the winner’s throne.

Laughter, teamwork, and a touch of chaos made it a fantastic way to end the term.

❄️What a week it’s been for our students in Iceland!

Sir John Talbot’s School and The Marches School wrapped up the first week of the half term with an unforgettable adventure across Iceland’s dramatic landscapes and cutting-edge science.

From braving the winds on a crater walk and witnessing a mesmerising lava lightshow, to exploring the abandoned town of GrindavΓ­k after this year’s eruption – every moment was packed with awe and learning.

Students also delved into the wonders of geothermal energy at a local park, toured the lava fields and Reykjavik, and even learned about the carbon mineralisation process at a geothermal power plant.

A huge thank you to everyone who made this trip possible – it’s been a journey of discovery, resilience and unforgettable memories.

70 of our talented GCSE Art students took to the streets of Oswestry as part of their Colour Project, and what a day it was! At the start, we told them they’d see the town in a new light and they absolutely did. ✨

Students were full of enthusiasm, capturing textures, colours, and inspiration to fuel their coursework. Many shared how beautiful Oswestry is when you really stop and look a brilliant reminder of the creativity that comes from observation and exploration.

We can’t wait to see how these vibrant experiences translate into their final pieces!
