๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ“ธ Year 10 3D-Art, A-Level Art & Photography Trip to Chester Zoo! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฆ’

Our talented Year 10 3D-Art, A-Level Art, and Photography students had an incredible day out at Chester Zoo! They immersed themselves in capturing the beauty of wildlife by making recordings of animals in their natural environments through stunning photographs and detailed sketches. ๐Ÿ“ทโœ๏ธ

Beyond creating their artwork, students also learned about conservation efforts at the zoo, gaining valuable insights to help them in their coursework. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’š

It was an inspiring day where creativity met nature!

๐ŸŒŸ ONEVoice โ€“ Belonging in the World 2024-25 Launch Event ๐ŸŒŸ

We recently celebrated the launch of ONEVoice โ€“ Belonging in the World at the stunning Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury! ๐ŸŽ‰

This marks the second year of the ONEVoice initiative, supported by wonderful partners including Interactive Opportunities (Shrewsbury), Coforge (Telford), Harley Nursery (Shrewsbury), Agrii (Cheltenham), and New Era Printing (Shrewsbury).

The event brought together 100 students from 10 primary and secondary schools across our Trust. It was a fantastic opportunity to foster community engagement and recognise cultural identity within our school communities. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿค

ONEVoice aims to inspire and engage our pupils by helping them connect with their school and local communities. The program encourages creativity, teamwork, communication, resilience, and boosts self-esteem, all while nurturing a sense of belonging.

Thank you to everyone involved for making this event a success! Weโ€™re excited for another year of growth and connection.

๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ“ธ Year 10 Art and Photography Trip to Oswestry Town Centre! ๐ŸŒŸ

Weโ€™re thrilled to share that our Year 10 students had a fantastic time on their recent walk around Oswestry Town Centre, gathering inspiration for their colour project. They focused on various themes, including macro shots of nature in the park, exploring local architecture, and capturing the vibrant market stalls.

Mrs. Proctor was particularly impressed with the students' engagement as they took thoughtful photographs and created beautiful observational drawings. The visit to the Willow Art Gallery was a highlight, sparking even more creativity and ideas for their projects.

Well done to all involved! We can't wait to see how this experience influences your work! ๐ŸŒˆโœจ

๐ŸŒŸ Connecting Through Experience at The Shore! ๐Ÿค

On Friday, September 27th, our KS4 Student Leadership Team visited The Shore to gather feedback from students about their experiences at The Marches School. They had meaningful conversations that allowed students to share their thoughts and feelings about their journey so far.

It was wonderful to see how helpful this was for everyone, especially for our Year 7s, as they could understand that others have faced similar challenges. We hope this inspires them to aspire to become part of the student leadership when they reach this stage in their school journey!

Thank you to all the students for sharing their insights! ๐ŸŒˆ
