We are so proud to celebrate Sofia’s fantastic achievement 🎉

Sofia has successfully completed the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) challenge with Montgomery RDA, showing great determination, focus and skill throughout. Achieving an impressive second place is a wonderful accomplishment and one she should be very proud of.

Even more exciting, this success means Sofia has qualified for the upcoming regional event. What an incredible opportunity!

We wish Sofia the very best of luck as she continues her journey. She is a real inspiration to our whole school community.

🎶 What an incredible day bringing our Trust together through music!

It was fantastic to welcome 150 singers from Marches Academy Trust schools to St Oswald’s, Oswestry for an inspiring African Gospel Singing workshop. A huge thank you to all the children who joined us – you were all absolutely brilliant! 🌟

The energy in the room was amazing, with children not only enjoying a wide range of songs but also learning about their meaning and importance within African culture. The atmosphere was full of joy, confidence and celebration, with everyone encouraged to take part and express themselves.

We also loved hearing this reflection from Emily:
“We really enjoyed yesterday. We got to sing all sorts of different songs and learnt about what the songs actually mean to African culture. The people were very full of life and so was the crowd. You didn’t have to feel embarrassed to have a good time. Me and my friend even got a special shout out for our effort and interest in the event. It was genuinely a great experience and I would 100% go again.”

👏 What a fantastic experience for everyone involved!

A fantastic effort from our Under 15 Girls in the County Cup Quarter Final ⚽💪

The team faced Meole Brace in an incredibly exciting and hard fought match, captained by Sophie Hancock. After a competitive 60 minutes, the game finished 3–3, with goals from Erin, Millie and Lucy.

The match was decided on penalties, where the girls narrowly missed out 4–3. A special mention goes to Hayley for an outstanding penalty save that kept the team in contention right to the very end.

The girls should be extremely proud of their teamwork, resilience and determination throughout a brilliant match 👏

Our Wave System is all about understanding, trust and the right support at the right time 🌊💙

This short animation explains how we notice, respond and support children when they need a little extra help, whether that is emotionally, socially or with learning.

Every child moves through waves differently, and our approach helps staff work together to make sure no one is missed and every child feels safe, supported and ready to learn.

Watch the video to see how the Wave System works and how we support children and families every step of the way.

Year 12 Biology students have been completing their Ecology PAG work 🌿🔬

As part of this practical investigation, students compared biodiversity in shaded and light areas around the school site, developing key fieldwork, data collection and analysis skills required for A level Biology. A great example of learning beyond the classroom and applying theory to real environments.

Year 12 students at Marches School have been exploring Commercialisation and Media as part of their A Level PE studies ⚽📚

As part of the topic, students selected a football shirt and analysed how it links to the Golden Triangle, looking at how commercialisation turns sport into a marketable commodity. This has encouraged thoughtful discussion around sport, media influence and the role of sponsorship in modern sport.

A great example of students applying theory to real world contexts and developing the analytical skills needed for further study and future careers.
