🌿 Eco Club Update

Our Eco Club members have been busy recycling containers from The Bailey Head public house and transforming them into colourful planters. The group were challenged to design interesting features using a range of materials and outdoor paint, and they have done a brilliant job.

The planters will be used to create wildflower spots around the school to complement our plot by the fitness suite and to encourage even more biodiversity on site.

Pictured getting creative are Natalie Arnold, Erin Harris and Seffy Wooley. 🌼💚

🎼 Music for Stage and Screen

Following a fantastic trip to Birmingham Symphony Hall, our students were treated to an incredible performance of music from stage and screen.

Here is what Lucy Hawley had to say about the experience:

“I really enjoyed our trip to Birmingham Symphony Hall! The different songs all sounded amazing and the orchestra and soloists were incredible. I love the mix of songs from stage and screen and it was great to hear them performed by a full orchestra.” 🎶✨

🏉 Year 10 Rugby County Cup

A fantastic group of boys proudly represented the Marches in the Year 10 Rugby County Cup at home against Abraham Darby. Despite the opposition having more experience and time playing together, our team matched them every step of the way with amazing enthusiasm, determination and spirit.

They gave everything in every tackle and showed real heart from start to finish.👏
