Fair Trade Fortnight this year runs from the 27th February to the 10th March. The Adcote Eco-Team will be doing their bit! We shall have a stall in School on the 28th February during break for pupils and after school for any parents. We will be selling all sorts of snacks, together with small
gifts ideal for Mothers Day!

On Tuesday 7th February, a senior school debate was held, with the motion being proposed: "This House believes the Monarchy should be abolished". Three speakers argued for and against the motion on each side. This was then followed by questions from the floor. A vote was held at the end with the motion being defeated. Overall an excellent and enjoyable debate with some very interesting points being made on both sides. Well done to all the girls who took part!

Year 7 enjoyed a very tasty start to the day with a French breakfast in 'Le Café' on Thursday 9th February, organised by Mrs Keeling. Thank you to Mrs Sillitoe-Price for supplying some yummy french cakes.

Pupils and staff alike at Adcote School were celebrating as their success in the recently released league table results.

Adcote is now among the best- performing schools in the country, according to new figures.

Based on an average points score for A-Levels, Adcote School is now ranked 13th nationally for all independent schools and is placed top of the league tables within Shropshire.

Headmaster Gary Wright, said: "I am delighted, that our hard working pupils and staff have been recognised in this way. It is a fantastic achievement, especially considering that we are a non-selective school, who emphasise a rounded and well-balanced education"

The school also recently celebrated Head Girl, Kasia Zielinska, obtaining a place at Oxford to read Law.

The league tables are published once a year and are an official Government record of how a school is performing.

The supper menu for boarders got a far eastern makeover on Monday, as Adcote pupils celebrated the Chinese New Year, the Year of the Water Dragon.

Celebrations began in the morning, with an assembly marking the start of the New Year and a story of how each of the twleve years in the Chinese calendar were named. In the Juniors, there was a wonderful presentation about Chinese culture. We are all looking forward to our forthcoming Mandarin Chinese Club.

Two of our Sixth Form students recently had the opportunity to show off their public speaking skills at the Oswestry Rotary Club International Evening held at The Walls Restaurant. Lylee Chan and Valeriya Tsekhanska spoke with both confidence and affection, about their life at Adcote and
how it compares with their experience in their home countries. 

They were joined by one of our Gap Students, Bridget Dabbs, who also sang Adcote's praises, while offering entertaining stories about life at home on the Crocodile Farm in Zimbabwe! The students also had the chance to mix with international students from other local schools.
