Pear Tree High School

Thank You for Another Fantastic Year! 🌳

As we close our doors for the summer today, Tuesday 21st July, we would like to say a heartfelt thank you to all our parents and carers for your continued support throughout another fantastic school year.

Your encouragement, communication and partnership with school play such an important role in helping our students to feel safe, happy and supported. We are incredibly proud of everything they have achieved this year and of the progress they continue to make.

We hope all our students, families and staff have a wonderful, restful and enjoyable summer break. We look forward to welcoming students back to school on Thursday 3rd September 2026.

Thank you for being such an important part of our school community. Have a lovely summer! ☀️💚

Today, our students went head-to-head with parents and carers in a brilliant Sports Day Cupcake Bake-Off!

Everyone worked incredibly hard to create a fantastic selection of colourful, delicious-looking cupcakes, ready to be enjoyed at tomorrow’s Sports Day. We can confirm that they look far too tempting to resist! 😋

The cupcakes will be available to buy during the Friends of Pear Tree Mini Fair, which will be running alongside Sports Day tomorrow.

Please remember to bring some cash with you so you can treat yourself while supporting the Friends of Pear Tree. Come along early before all of these tasty creations are gone! 🧁💙🌳

A friendly reminder that our Sports Day will take place tomorrow, Friday 17th July, from 9:30am. 🏅

It promises to be an excellent day filled with fun, encouragement and plenty of opportunities to celebrate our wonderful students. We would love to see as many parents and carers there as possible to cheer everyone on! 🌟

The Friends of Pear Tree will also be running a mini school fair alongside Sports Day, with:
🥤 Drinks and refreshments
🍬 A sweet tombola
🎟️ A raffle

Please remember that the fair will be a cash-only event, so we recommend bringing some change with you.
We look forward to welcoming you tomorrow for what promises to be a fantastic day! 🌳💙

Yesterday, our Caretaker Callum took on the incredible Manchester Trail Marathon, completing an astonishing 42.69km in some exceptionally challenging temperatures. What an achievement!🏃☀️

Team Pear Tree are so proud of him, and would like to thank him for placing our fabulous school and students at the centre of his fundraising efforts. The link is below for any final donations 👇

One of our fabulous parents, Anna, is taking on an incredible challenge as she swims an amazing 5.25 miles across Coniston Water in the Lake District! 🏊‍♀️

We are absolutely thrilled and incredibly grateful that Anna has chosen to support Pear Tree High School through her fundraising efforts. Taking on such a demanding challenge is no small feat, and we know the whole Pear Tree community will join us in wishing her the very best of luck as she prepares for the big day. Here is a link if you would like to support Anna on the big day: https://loom.ly/Y1lDzKk

Thank you, Anna, for your support, dedication and generosity. We can't wait to cheer you on! 🍐

Help raise £2000 to Support Pear Tree High School – JustGiving Crowdfunding Iʼm raising money to Support Pear Tree High School. Support this JustGiving Crowdfunding Page.

We are really excited to launch our new whole-school house system, The Ember of the Orchard. 🪴

All students have now been placed into one of four houses, Orlando Oak, Mia Maple, West Willow or Silva Birch; each representing the different ways in which our students grow - including wellbeing, courage, community and curiosity. Each half term, students will take part in a House Challenge during the school day, earning House Points for their effort, progress and teamwork. 🌟

We will share updates so you can follow along with how each house is doing. At the heart of this, is the idea that every student grows differently, but we are all part of one community. The house that shows the most consistent effort and support for others will be entrusted with the Ember, with a celebration reward for the winning House at the end of the year. We are really excited to bring the whole school together through this and celebrate the many ways our students grow.

Keep your eyes peeled for updates!

As we finish for the half term break today, we would like to take a moment to thank all of our wonderful families for your continued support this term - we are incredibly grateful.

What a fabulous term it has been for our pupils! We have seen so much progress, confidence and joy across the school, with so many special moments to celebrate. A particular highlight has been the incredible success of Pear Tree’s Got Talent – we have been so proud of the courage, creativity and talent shown by our amazing students! ⭐🎤

We hope all of our families have a lovely, restful half term and enjoy the beautiful weather forecast over the coming week ☀️ Whether you're out and about or relaxing at home, we hope you make some wonderful memories together.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Monday 1st June 2026.

Have a fantastic break from all of us at Pear Tree! 💚

Pear Tree's Got Talent! 🎤🎭
We are so excited for our very first talent show this week! On Friday 15th May, lots of our wonderful students are participating in Pear Tree's Got Talent! From singing and dancing to comedy and magic tricks, we are excited to showcase all of the amazing things that make us unique! Parents of those performing are welcome to join us from 1:30pm on Friday afternoon! Thanks for your support.

🌟 Sponsored Walk Success! 🌟

Today, our incredible staff team took on a sponsored walk of just under 7km across the beautiful Peak District, and what a day it was! 🍐

We navigated a range of tricky terrains along the way, from uneven rocky paths, mud and streams to challenging inclines, but spirits remained high! The weather was hot, but absolutely beautiful, making it a perfect day to be outdoors and working together towards such a special cause.

There were plenty of smiles, lots of encouragement, and (by the end!) a few very tired legs, but every step was worth it. 👣💛

We would like to say a huge thank you to all of our families and supporters who have donated so far. Your kindness and generosity truly mean so much to us and the fantastic students we support. Our fundraising page will remain open until June, when our caretaker, Callum, completes his marathon challenge! 🏃‍♂️

There is still plenty of time to support us if you would like to, every contribution makes a difference. Well done to everyone involved today, what an achievement! WE REACHED OUR TARGET!!! 👏💫

More exciting news! Callum, our fantastic Care Taker, has decided to run his first ever marathon to join in the fundraising efforts for Pear Tree. With just one day to go until the staff sponsored hike this weekend, Callum is adding to those funds by completing the Trail Escape Manchester Marathon on the 27th of June. If you would like to support either cause, please use the Crowdfunder link below. We truly appreciate your support, and have been blown away by your generosity so far! 🍐🏃‍♂️
