A powerful Polish Cultural Evening at Sir John Talbot’s School
We were delighted to welcome students, families and members of our wider community to our recent Polish Cultural Evening. Led confidently by our Sixth Form students, the event shared insights from their enrichment trip to Krakow, exploring the city as a destination, key moments in Polish history, and their deeply moving reflections on visiting Auschwitz. This included the extraordinary opportunity to meet a Holocaust Survivor and hear their story firsthand.
The evening was open to everyone, particularly those interested in joining our Sixth Form, as we are now gathering expressions of interest for our next planned trip in 2027. All funds raised will go directly towards future Sixth Form visits to Krakow, helping to reduce costs for students taking part.

🎓 Exploring future pathways at Sixth Form 🎓
Our Year 12 Sixth Form students recently spent the day at the UCAS Discovery Exhibition at Staffordshire University. It was a great opportunity to speak directly with university and apprenticeship providers, ask questions and start exploring the wide range of options available after Sixth Form.
The event helped students gain a clearer picture of their possible next steps, and they will now begin preparing for their UCAS applications over the coming months.
Key UCAS dates for families to note:
• May 2026 – Students can begin their UCAS applications
• 1 September 2026 – Applications can be submitted
• 15 October 2026 – Deadline for Oxbridge, Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary courses
• 13 January 2027 – Main UCAS deadline for most undergraduate courses
We will continue to guide students through every stage of the process, and keeping these dates in mind will help families support planning at home too.

🐾 One Voice students making a difference at Sir John Talbot’s School 🐾
Our One Voice group is busy planning an exciting fundraising dog show in support of the Bradbury Care Centre's project to create a new cinema room. The students recently took part in the Marches Academy Trust Dragon’s Den and were delighted to secure £100 to help get their idea off the ground.
The group visited Alderford Lake to learn from their team, who have hosted a very successful dog show of their own. The visit was incredibly valuable, with students asking thoughtful questions and gathering lots of ideas to help shape a Sir John Talbot’s dog show that is fun, memorable and community focused. A special thank you to Zoe from Alderford Lake for taking the time to guide and inspire our students.
Plans are now well underway, so keep an eye on our social media channels and upcoming bulletins for more details.

📚 National Year of Reading at Sir John Talbot’s School 📚
We are delighted to be launching our Year 7–9 Sponsored Read from Monday 27th April to Friday 8th May, helping to inspire a lifelong love of reading both at home and at school.
The project is being organised in partnership with our local Independent Usborne Partner, Lucy Kendrick, and all money raised will be used to purchase brand new books for our school library and reading spaces.
We are encouraging families to support their child to spend a small amount of time each day reading. This could be reading independently, reading to others, or being read to. Anything with words counts, including books, comics, magazines, newspapers, menus, websites, recipes, poems and instructions.
All students have received a sponsorship form and reading log to record their reading across the fortnight. Sponsors can be collected until Friday 8th May, with all sponsorship money due by Friday 15th May.
Payments can be made via the Arbor app under School Shop Products, or by cash or cheque made payable to The Marches Academy Trust, Sir John Talbot’s Private Fund, at reception.
👉 Please support our sponsored read and help us grow our reading resources for our students.

Our Year 10 Silver Duke of Edinburgh’s group recently completed their training expedition in the Berwyns and Llangollen area 🏕️❄️
While the days were dry, the challenge really came overnight as temperatures dropped below freezing, with students waking up to frost‑covered tents. Despite these tough conditions, the group showed excellent teamwork, resilience and navigation skills throughout the expedition.
Well done to everyone involved for embracing the challenge and supporting one another so positively. A fantastic achievement and great preparation for the next stage of their DofE journey 👏

Thirty of our Year 9 students recently visited Moreton Hall to hear the powerful testimony of Holocaust survivor Tomi Komoly 📚
Students watched a recorded account of Tomi’s life story, sharing his experiences as a child during the Second World War, followed by an extended question and answer session. Tomi spoke movingly about being forced from his home, separation from his father, life in a ghetto and hiding with his mother in a cellar until their town was liberated.
Our students behaved impeccably throughout the visit and asked thoughtful, mature questions, showing empathy and a deep engagement with this important part of history. It was an invaluable experience and one that will stay with them for many years to come.

We were delighted to celebrate our Year 8 and 9 students who finished last half term with positive behaviour points and consistently achieved Lesson Grades 1 and 2 🌟
Their hard work, positive attitudes and commitment to learning really stood out, and it was fantastic to recognise their achievements together. To say well done, students were invited to a special rewards breakfast where they could relax, enjoy some treats and celebrate their success with friends.
We are incredibly proud of everyone involved and the high standards they continue to show every day 💙
