• Run the MAT

  Fri 23 Jul 2021

  A local charity has benefitted from the fundraising efforts of pupils of the three primary schools

   

  A sponsored MAT-wide challenge to run the equivalent distance between the three schools in the MAT – Greenfields Primary School, Mount Pleasant Primary School and Radbrook Primary School – has raised money for a local charity ‘Empathy for Special Children’.

   

  The aim was for children to run around a mile a day during the week of 12^th July. The final day of the five mile challenge saw children coming into school dressed in bright colours to mark the end of the event and run the final mile.

   

  The ‘Run the MAT’ event was the idea of the MAT Parliament, made up of pupil representatives from each school. They chose the charity, which helps to support children living with a hidden disability, to benefit from the fundraising.

• Speaking Competition Success

  Fri 02 Jul 2021

  A MAT-wide speaking competition was a huge success, with Year 4 pupils from each of the schools talking on a variety of subjects in front of judges from the MAT and the Rotary Club of Shrewsbury.

   

  The speaking skills of Year Four children from across the Severn Bridges MAT were celebrated in what is hoped will become an annual event.

   

  The competition was the idea of one of the Trustees, Mary Pascoe, and was run in partnership with the Rotary Club of Shrewsbury. Mary, and two of her fellow Rotarians Ros McCarthy and Peter Waller were amongst the judges of the competition which saw children speaking for two minutes on a topic of their choice. 

   

  The first rounds were held in the individual schools, and the top two speakers from each school were then invited to a grand final at Radbrook Primary School.

   

  Adam, a pupil from Greenfields Primary School was the competition’s overall winner, but judges were impressed with the way in which all of the pupils rose to the challenge, and spoke with passion about their chosen subjects.
