Astbury St. Mary's Church of England Primary School

St Andrew's - the winning team at Astbury Sports' morning 2026. Thank you to everyone who came to support - we are so proud of all our children who persevered, had a go, worked hard for their team and encouraged each other.

Class Noah had a visitor yesterday. Jabez (Mrs Hodder’s Brother in Law) came to speak to us, linked to our Geography learning, all about life in Nigeria.
We learnt that there are only 2 seasons there, the dry season and the wet season. Classes can have up to 60 children in and if there aren't enough chairs the children sit on stones.
Jabez brought some instruments with him, which we loved listening to and also spoke to us in Hausa.
Did you know that there are over 500 languages spoken throughout Nigeria? Ask us what else we found out.
Thank you Jabez for bringing our learning to life. We hope to see you soon.

Astbury children had a great training session at GSM padel in Congleton. Thank you to the team for the invitation and the warm welcome.

Stay safe 💙💛

Astbury children had a great time at the CDAT hockey tournament. They used their skills and worked well together as a team. Thank you to Brereton School for hosting.

Year 3 and Year 4 have been busy authors!
Over the past few weeks, the children have been working incredibly hard innovating their own versions of 'The Society of Distinguished Lemmings'.
They proudly invited Acorns and Class Jonah to listen to their final stories. The children read with confidence, creativity and lots of smiles. We are so proud of their fantastic effort and imagination.
Well done, everyone — what a wonderful celebration of writing!

Mary ‘Kate’ Berry was in school this afternoon to promote the Astbury May Day children’s bake off. Such a fun afternoon sorting out soggy bottoms from our Eccles cakes! We’re looking forward to judging (and tasting) all the entries on Saturday 16th May!

Astbury children in Y1/2 had so much fun at Congleton High School competing in an athletics competition. They were able to try out the different elements of athletics and worked so well together. Well done team Astbury!

Local author and illustrator Matthew Buckingham visited our school, and the whole day was fantastic! Matthew spoke to the children about his work as an author and illustrator before leading a series of inspiring workshops. The buzz and excitement around school was tangible and many children were inspired to write and draw and make their own books at home.
Here are some photos from the day. A huge thank you to the PTFA for making this visit possible.

Astbury children engaged in a range of PE skills at Congleton High School. Lots of fun and teamwork with others.
