The Adcote Sixth form held their annual charity social on the 28^th of November in aid of “Help for Heroes”. The evening had a military theme with the participants arriving in suitable attire! Over £500 was raised to help the charity. A spokesperson for the charity said that "Help for Heroes was formed to raise money to support our wounded in their long battles towards rehabilitation and with rebuilding their lives," he said.  "The money raised will enable our Service charities to provide facilities which are today beyond their means."

Due to a recent growth in numbers, Adcote School celebrated the start of 2010 with the purchase of a fourth school minibus to add to their expanding fleet, which will cover the Welshpool and Oswestry areas. The school now operates four daily bus runs to bring girls to school in the morning and return them in the evening.

Schools recently took part in the regional heat of the “The Great Debate” competition run by the Historical Association. The national competition is open to students aged between 16 and 19 across the UK.

 The Shropshire finals were held at Shrewsbury School on Friday 6^th November. Pupils entering had to write and deliver a speech on their local hero and why they still mattered in today’s society. Each competitor was given five minutes to present their case and then field questions from the judges.

Adcote School student Bryony Milliken won the event with her presentation on Wilfred Owen, the famous war poet from Oswestry. Bryony will now go forward to the National final of the competition to be held at Clare College Cambridge on the 13^th March 2010, where contestants will be judged by a panel of experts.

Adcote has been ranked as one of the top 50 small independent schools in the country according to the Sunday Times Parent Power survey. The school came 37th in the survey overall.

We are delighted that we feature so prominently and believe that this reaffirms the high academic standards at the School.

Adcote Junior School children have collected 25 boxes for this charity, which helps children in many other countries. Thanks to these boxes, many children will now receive a Christmas present this year.

Junior School pupils from Adcote proved they were extremely “well versed” at a recent festival hosted by Moreton Hall with all twelve of the students who entered achieving a commendation or merit in their age group.

Established in 1982, the annual Shropshire Festival of Verse and Prose, attracts over 500 entrants in approximately 40 classes with participants from local schools competing against pupils from as far away as Wilmslow, Wolverhampton and Denbigh.
