Welcome to Church Stretton School
Welcome to Church Stretton School. Can you believe that Christmas is nearly upon us! I hope you all had a chance to get your shopping started early by attending our Annual Craft Fayre on 7th November. We managed to raise £2,500 from the event which is a fantastic result. The Parents and Friends Association have asked me to pass on their warmest thanks to all those who attended the Fayre, and also to those whose generous time and skills made it the incredible success it was. The PFA is a fantastic group of parents who organise and support many events for the school, helping to raise much needed funds. If you are interested in joining them, please do not hesitate to contact school reception and we will pass your name on, and let you know when the group is next due to meet. They are always grateful for any extra help - whether it is with organising events, selling tickets, serving tea, making cakes, or any number of other useful activities.
Those Year 11 students who went to Morocco returned safe and well recently and had a fantastic time. All agreed that sleeping in the desert, riding camels and climbing mountains was indeed an amazing experience. We are indebted to Mr Tilson and Mrs Hill who organised the expedition. You may have heard that unfortunately Mrs Hill was taken ill during the latter part of the trip and had to be flown home early. We are pleased to report however that, although she is not in school at the moment, she is recovering well and we look forward to welcoming her back shortly. In the meantime, Mr Longhurst has been appointed as temporary Year Coordinator for Year 10, and any queries regarding students in that year group should be directed to him for the time being.
The deadline for return of school photograph orders is Friday 27th November. If you have ordered on-line, you do not need to do anything, but if you are ordering from the school, please ensure that you return your proof card and order by then.
Have a great week.
