On Saturday 6th March, the U14 netball team that consists of Charly Hickman, Clemmie Moody, Aisha Brown, Gabby Green, Eliza Brown, Natasha Tait and Lorraine Makuvaza, went to Idsall School to participate in the Midlands ISA Netball Tournament. The girls played very well against some talented teams, they proved that they could perform well under pressure which resulted in them coming 4th overall.

North Shropshire Netball Tournament

On Wednesday 10th March, Adcote travelled to Moreton Hall to compete in the North Shropshire Netball tournament. The U14 team got through the rounds and were up against Ellesmere College in the semi-final. Both teams played exceptionally well and at full time the score was 5-5. This meant the girls had to play again in order to determine who was to make it through to the final. The score was still 0-0 coming up to the final whistle but just after the Ellesmere shooter had released the ball the whistle went. The goal was scored which meant that Ellesmere were to compete in the final. It was a fantastic performance by all the players in the U14 who have also proven to be unbeatable in the North Shropshire Netball League.

As the U14s were competing at Moreton Hall, the U11 girls were at Prestfelde School competing in the Prestfelde Tournament. The girls played well and made it through to the final 6 out of 15 teams. A fantastic performance by the U11's.

Shropshire Schools Voluntary Floor and Vault Gymnastics Competition

On Saturday 20th March an U11 gymnastics team from Adcote competed in the Shropshire Schools Voluntary Floor and Vault Competition. Florence Galliers, Millie Callaghan, Emily Bright and Lara Williamson went over to Shrewsbury High School to compete in the event.
The team performed very well and came second overall gaining them the silver medal. In addition to this Emily Bright and Millie Callaghan won the bronze individual medals.

The Adcote Eco Team were excited this week when the items ordered as part of the grant from Shropshire Community Recycling Ltd  (SCRL) started to arrive!  They are pictrured here putting half way through putting together 25 paper recycling points for classrooms!  These will encourage the girls (and staff) to recycle 100% of paper next term.  Other items ordered include two wormeries, composting bins, recycling points for the Boarding House and items for the Eco Team themselves. Members of the sixth form are helping the Junior girls and have designed a possible logo for the group!

The School is gratefyul to SCRL for the grant - and more information about the organisation can be found on their web site www.scrl.org.uk/

The Community Police Officers came to visit the Juniors on the 11^th March to give the girls a chance to find out how the police work.

Visits like this are a very important part of the life of the school, helping the girls to develop an understanding of the importance of good citizenship in the wider community as well as how they can help each other within the school community.

Pupils were able to see a patrol car and they were also given the chance to use some of the equipment in the vehicles – the blue lights and sirens were particularly popular!

During morning break and lunch break the girls enjoyed a cake sale and competing in a quiz in the Great Hall.

The girls had a wonderful day dressed up in order to raise the money, but again the girls showed the charitable spirit behind what they did, and what inspired them to want to raise money for Help for Heroes.

We are still collating the total amount raised but our congratulations go to the girls for their fantastic achievement and they were definitely real life heroines themselves for their efforts!

Doctor Who  and other well known TV, film and sport personalities were caricatured in a theatrical presentation highlighting careers options for Year 10 and 11 students at Adcote School.

The ‘Stay In Learning’ presentation was courtesy of the theatre company “Theatre and”. Theatre and’s three actors played all the characters in an entertaining, fastpaced, fun  show, full of cultural references and incorporating the latest pop music. They conveyed the importance of life-long learning as well as exploring the choices and routes open to young people post 16.

The school has been awarded a £980 grant from SCRL to be used to fund equipment for recycling kitchen waste and paper/cardboard.

Headmaster, Gary Wright said "The school’s eco committee carried out an audit and then an action plan was drawn up to decide on the areas, where we could, as a school, become more environmentally and ecologically aware. I am delighted that we have been awarded this grant from Shropshire Community Recycling Ltd."

Students from Years 10, 11 and our Sixth Form were treated to a presentation by the Army. Lieutenant Alice Wheeler (pictured), currently serving with the Royal Artillery, gave an extremely interesting account of what life as a female officer in the modern British army was like. This was followed by a short talk from Colonel Moody about what the army are looking for in a potential officer.

Glenmore win Inter-House Hockey tournament

On Wednesday 10th February Year 7, 8 and 9 pupils from Adcote School took part in the House Hockey Tournament. With games flowing to and fro, it was exciting to see the skills of so many young players. All the teams played very well and the competition was close between Haughton and Glenmore. Haughton played exceptionally well throughout the competition but were beaten to the title by Glenmore on goal difference. The hockey was exciting and skilful to watch but, more importantly, so was the spirit of inclusion shown by those more able players to their team mates.

Haughton win Inter-House Cross Country tournament

J2 and J3 took part in House Cross Country towards at the end of the Autumn Term. The girls were required to run around a set course around the school grounds. Holly Morgan came in first for Innage. The final results showed that Haughton took first place with Innage and Glenmore coming joint second. It was so pleasing to see that so many could take part with a spirit of fairness and good humour and yet also be highly competitive.
