Our GCSE Drama students recently enjoyed an inspiring visit to Theatr Clwyd to watch a live performance of Teechers 🎭✨

This visit plays an important role in their written exam, where they complete a live theatre evaluation. The students engaged brilliantly with the performance and clearly loved seeing the play brought to life on stage.

As well as watching the show, they had the opportunity to take a closer look at some of the costumes used in professional productions, helping them connect their classroom learning with the real world. A real highlight was meeting one of the actors, who played Hobby.

🌟We are proud to introduce The Lighthouse, a new alternative provision at Sir John Talbot’s School 🌟

The Lighthouse has been created to support some of our most vulnerable children and young people. It is a safe, nurturing space for children who need a different approach to education, offering structure, care and meaningful opportunities to rebuild confidence, develop life skills and re‑engage with learning.

To help make this vision a reality, we are reaching out to our amazing local community for support. We are currently looking for:

🌟Donations of resources such as outdoor furniture, learning materials, games, sensory items and books
🌟Local businesses who could offer workshops or enrichment sessions, including trades, wellbeing, food or creative skills
🌟Support for our breakfast club through food supplies or regular contributions to help every child start the day ready to learn
🌟Financial contributions or sponsorship from local organisations

Whether you are a local resident, a small business or part of a larger organisation, your support really could make a life‑changing difference to a child who needs it most. Together, we can create a provision that truly changes lives.

If you are able to help in any way, please get in touch via email kirsty.treherne@sjt.mmat.co.uk.

During Crew time last half term, our Year 9 students took part in an exciting Model United Nations project focused on the Sustainable Development Goals 🌍

Students researched the needs of 12 different countries from around the world and created a funding pitch and poster to present to their Crew. The top two teams from each Crew progressed to our inaugural Year 9 MUN conference, chaired by Mr Von‑Dinther, where they spoke confidently and knowledgeably about their chosen country, clearly explaining the SDG they were representing and justifying their request for funding.

Congratulations to 9 Redbrook, who represented Moldova and won the overall vote with their well‑researched pitch for SDG 5, focusing on reducing gender inequality and improving the safety of women. The winning poster was awarded to 9 Redbrook representing Nigeria for their informative and visually engaging work on SDG 6, Clean Water and Sanitation 👏

Something exciting is coming to Sir John Talbot’s School 👀✨

Apparently it’s a secret, so we can’t share much just yet. What we do know is that it was a Wisdom of the Crowd event, bringing together children from Tilstock CE Primary School and Nursery, Lower Heath CE Primary School and Nursery and SJT to create something truly special.

Wisdom of the Crowd is all about bringing different voices, ideas and perspectives together. When people work collaboratively, sharing their thinking and creativity, the final outcome is often stronger, richer and more meaningful than anything created alone.

We loved seeing children from different schools working side by side and we cannot wait to share more with you very soon.

Keep an eye out for updates and trust us, this is one you won’t want to miss.

✨ Our Learning for Life animation✨

We are proud to launch our new Learning for Life animation, showcasing the incredible support available to children and young people through The Wave system and The Shore.

The animation brings to life how our schools create nurturing, inclusive environments where learners feel supported, valued and empowered to thrive, from tailored learning to emotional and social support. Together, we are shaping brighter futures.

We are delighted to invite you to our Polish Cultural Evening on Wednesday 22nd April at 6pm in the School Hall. Tickets are £5 and include a serving of traditional Polish soup, a selection of snacks and cake.

Tickets can be purchased from School Reception between 8am and 3pm. During the evening, our Sixth Form students will share insights from their recent enrichment trip to Krakow, including Krakow as a tourist destination, key aspects of Polish history, and reflections on their visit to Auschwitz, where they had the extraordinary opportunity to meet a Holocaust Survivor and hear their story.

This event is open to everyone in our school and local community and may be of particular interest to families considering our Sixth Form, as we will also be taking expressions of interest for our next planned trip in 2027.

All funds raised will go directly towards future Sixth Form trips to Krakow, helping to reduce the overall cost for participating students.

We hope you will join us for what promises to be an informative, meaningful and memorable evening 😊
