Class 5 have had an amazing year and it has been an absolute pleasure to teach them! I would like to say a massive thank you to you all for your constant support during my first year of teaching. Thank you all for your generous cards and gifts it is very kind of you all.
I hope you all have a lovely, safe summer holidays! I will looked forward to seeing you all in your new classes in KS2 in September.
Thanks again,
Miss Longland 🙂 X
We’d like to give you advanced notice that, from September, we will expect all children to follow school expectations for uniform and to wear PE clothes on the two days your child’s class has PE.
There is no requirement to purchase school items with logos- (although that would be preferred if possible) but it is important that the recommended uniform is worn with a sense of pride by all children.
The uniform is designed to be low cost, practical and attractive. Uniform is available to purchase from School Shop Direct – you can pop into their shop in Harlescott, or alternatively place your order online and have everything delivered free to school for you to collect.
The uniform bank in church has good quality second hand uniform which has been donated by other parents or unclaimed lost property. This is available to all families.
Children smartly dressed for school in uniform allows all children to gain a sense of equality, and identity and adhering to the uniform policy prepares children for the transition to feeder schools such as Thomas Adams School.
Please find below the School Uniform and Dressing for PE from September 2022.Â
Dear Parents and Carers,
This week has been very different in school due to the heat wave. I would like to thank all the staff and children for being absolutely fantastic with the changes to the daily routines which allowed us to stay open.
We are so proud of our Year 6 cohort who have been very busy with their enterprise project during the last couple of weeks; they have raised a substantial amount of money for Alopecia UK. This is one example of why Year 6 have been a credit to our school community during their time at St Mary’s. Year 6, please continue to demonstrate the St Mary’s values and work hard. Your secondary schools are extremely lucky to be gaining a fantastic group of children. Remember – ‘Aim for the moon, and if you miss you will be amongst the stars!’ Congratulations Year 6!
This academic year we have given out trophies to celebrate the success of Year 6. Â Reverend Cresswell presented the trophies in church on the last day.
Congratulations to the winners:
Cresswell Trophy
Isabelle Blake – consistently demonstrating school values in class, and the wider school community
Sportsmanship Shield
Cery Sterio-Mason – having a positive attitude to all sports, giving her best effort, being a team player and respect for all.
Academic Achievement Trophy
Lucy Giles and Peter Gillson – for an outstanding performance in end of year tests measured using the SATS scores.
Finally, Mrs Edwards leaves us to start her maternity leave.  Her resilience to make it to the end of the summer term has been amazing! We wish her all the best for the birth of her twin girls and look forward to seeing her very soon with her babies in the autumn term.
I would like to thank the parents, the PTA, and the wider community for supporting the school this year. I look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday 6th September 22.
Have a safe and enjoyable summer break with your families.
Please find below the end of year review from the governing body.
This academic year we have given out trophies to celebrate the success of Year 6.
Congratulations to the winners!
It was lovely to be in church and have our final services with Reverend Rich. Â The children raised the roof with their singing and all classes, school and governors presented gifts to Reverend Rich as a thank you for all his commitment and hard work over the last few years.
We will be looking for a parent governor to join our friendly local governing board in the autumn term. Our governors come from a range of different backgrounds, skills and experience but all share a common interest in wanting the best possible education for the children in our school.
We would be delighted to hear from anyone who:
What is the role of the local governing body?
What does the role offer?
There will be some commitment to visiting the school during school hours approximately once each term and being available for three full governing body meetings that are held after school across the year.
What is most important is enthusiasm, interest and the willingness to learn and we encourage applications from all parents regardless of background, gender, ethnicity, disability or age (as long as you’re over 18).
The application process will start during week beginning 12th September 2022. A letter will be sent to all parents requesting nominations. Please have a think over summer as to whether you would be interested.
If you would like to discuss any aspects of the role before submitting an application Mrs North will be more than happy to call you or meet with you for an informal chat. Please
contact the school office admin@shawburystmarys.co.uk to arrange this. Governors are
essential for the effectiveness and success of the school and it is an extremely rewarding and fulfilling role.
A huge congratulations to our very own Rory who competed in a gymnastics competition at Lilleshall National Sports Centre – home to British Gymnastics. Â His event had seven disciplines and he came first. Â This is amazing and deserves a shout out! My question is will we see Rory competing in the Olympics or Commonwealth Games in the future?
Congratulations to Peake House for winning the house point trophy for the academic year 21/22.
