Some of our Year 12 students recently attended a Higher Education Convention hosted by The University of Birmingham. The girls had an extremely enjoyable day researching possible degree courses at UK universities and finding out about life as a university student. They were also able to sample the atmosphere of a large campus university.

The Juniors spent an exciting morning at 'Myth Stories' in Wem, as part of an activity for Book Week. The Juniors enjoyed the many varied activities and listened enthralled to the stories from all around the world.

On 22nd June, the British Ambassador in Poland hosted an afternoon tea for winners of British Alumni Society scholarships to Adcote School. On Tuesday 22nd June, the British Ambassador Ric Todd hosted an afternoon tea for Klaudia Rzeczkowska and Katarzyna Zielinska, winners of British Alumni Society scholarships to the UK.

The scholarship programme has been launched by the British Alumni Society this year in co-operation with Adcote School. From September 2010, Klaudia and Kasia will enjoy the unique experience of spending two years studying at a British boarding school. They both declared that they intended to continue their education in the UK and hoped to study psychology and linguistics at Cambridge University.

The Ambassador wished both scholars the best of luck and congratulated the British Alumni Society on the successful launch of its scholarship programme. He hoped that the programme would be continued and expanded in future years and joked that prospective scholars should opt for Oxford University (his own alma mater).

Over 80 Adcote girls some only 5 years old, from across the whole school entertained family and friends with the summer production of The Pied Piper held in the beautiful school gardens on a perfect summer's evening. The performance was rehearsed and performed in just three days as part of the summer activities and in addition to the acting. There was dancing, singing and live music.

Headmaster Mr Gary Wright congratulated everyone involved in the production, 'We have all been part of a very special performance in a magical setting, which provided a perfect backdrop for the children.'

OnFriday 18th June eleven GCSE and AS Business Studies students visited Mediation Works at Wellington, Telford, as part of the curriculum. Mr Stuart Guthrie gave a presentation of Mediation Works, a community interest company dealing in conflict resolution in families, in the community and in organisations. They have 80% success rate. There was an opportunity for students to ask questions about the business. The students were then divided into two groups and given a guided tour of the business. We were made to feel welcome by all staff at Mediation Works, they had even laid on snacks for us like iced buns and doughnuts. It was a pleasant and informative visit and an eye opener to see how much is involved in running a business in the real world.
