Eighteen months ago Ryan Jervis head teacher of Adcote School, a small private girls school on the outskirts of Shrewsbury approached a number of local state schools to see if they would welcome a joint venture in fast tracking some children wanting to start their A-level courses early.

Last weekend a team from Adcote School competed for the first time in the Girls Independent School Gymnastic Association national championships in Guildford, Surrey. The competition sees teams from all around the world competing together in a number of different gymnastic routines.

In the Under 13's group Adcote faced opposition from some very large and established gym schools but following outstanding performances from all five of their gymnasts, the school was placed 4th overall out of 18 teams. For this part of the competition the girls had to complete a voluntary floor routine, a set floor routine and 2 types of vaults. They also completed a group routine and were placed 3rd.

This is a tremendous result for first timers and the school is already looking forward to the competition next year.

Last Sunday, Adcote attended the 6th ISA National Gymnastics Championships held at Fenton Manor. The team of 6 girls had to take part in 4 gymnastic disciplines, set vault, voluntary vault, set floor and voluntary floor. It is a very demanding competition and we were delighted with fourth place in the team competition and a silver medal for the runner up of the individual national gymnastics, which was presented to Year 5 pupil Laura Brown.

The team are being coached by Jason Tucker who was a Floor and Vault specialist and who competed for Wales and Great Britain both in European Championships and Commonwealth Games.

Hatchers Solicitors in conjunction with Cornwall Street Chambers, Shrewsbury - Mock Trial Competition

Pupils from Adcote attended this prestigious competition for the first time on Saturday 22 November.  We took part in two trials against Priory School and the Blessed Robert Johnson.  The pupils performed the roles of jury, usher, clerk, court reporter, witnesses, defendant and barristers.  Each trial and each role was marked by a real trial judge.

Mrs Gilly Hartley and Will Stop from the NSPCC visited Adcote on Thursday 13th November to say thank you to all the girls on the Junior school for raising £319.24 in their recent Numberthon challenge.

Not content with this, Adcote Juniors have also once again been collecting a huge amount of toy filled shoe boxes for Charity. Operation Christmas Child is run by the Salvation Army, and every year they ask for people to donate one shoe box filled with toys for less fortunate boys and girls around the world. The Adcote girls found the idea of helping less fortunate people appealing and have spared no effort to get together as many boxes as possible. Well Done!

A second Gold medal has been won by Adcote School at the Shrewsbury Flower Show, hot on the heels of their RHS silver gilt medal at Malvern. Adcote gardeners have previously won a gold medal at the Shewsbury Flower Show with their first garden in 2006.
