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.

Sunday 7th February 2010

On Sunday 7th February two teams from Adcote School for Girls travelled to Fenton Manor Sports Complex to compete in the 2010 ISA National Gymnastics Championships. The girls had to compete in four areas. Set Vault, Voluntary Vault, Set Floor and Voluntary Floor. They were also required to perform a group sequence.

The U11 team consisted of Florence Galliers, Lara Williamson, Emily Bright and Millie Callaghan. The girls performed very well in all areas of the competition and came 4th overall.
In the group sequence competition the U11 girls performed their routine exceptionally well and took home the silver medal. The open team, Charly Hickman, Aisha Brown, Danni Langdale and Laura Brown, were invited to compete as guests. The girls performed well but due to injuries on the day they lost out on the gold medal by 0.1.

Aisha Brown was outstanding on the day and gained individual silver followed closely by Danni Langdale who took home the individual bronze medal. Aisha and Danni also had the crowd on their feet after performing a near perfect group sequence to close the competition.
