Alsager School

Save the Date!
Current Year 4 and Year 5 families are invited to join us for our Open Morning on Saturday 26th September from 9:30-12:30am. Alsager School Headteacher, Mrs O'Neill, will give a brief introductory talk at 10am (repeated at 11am) and families will have the chance to look around our school, speak with students and staff, and see all the fantastic learning opportunities and facilities for themselves.
We look forward to welcoming you in to school in September.

We had some great news from the Royal Cheshire Show this week. Our Year 7 student, Tyga-Lily F, took first, second and third places in her classes in the Showjumping events.

If you would like to share news of a student's success outside school in their sports, youth groups or hobbies etc, please email details to: [email protected]

Successful applications for the PiP funding this year include visiting theatre groups and authors for English and the LRC, a Gazebo for Forest School, headphones for our main school and A6 Alsager Sixth Form College Esports clubs, a digital die cutting machine for DT, various artifacts for RE and an MFL Business challenge.

Let's celebrate our latest Humanities Stars of the Week for Geography, History, RE and Social Sciences.
Well done to all of these inspirational young people, who work hard, try their hardest and embody our School Values.

Just a reminder that thanks to a very kind donation from HMM Mechanical & Building Services Ltd, we are offering all students the chance to win their choice of a games console - either a PlayStation or an Xbox.
The student who has achieved the highest number of positive BFL points by the end of term will be the lucky winner. All students are able to take part and everyone has an equal chance of winning this fantastic prize - it could be you!

Year 11 Families:

We would love to find a new home for any items of Alsager School uniform or PE kit that are no longer needed now that your child has completed their exams.

Any donations will enable us to support students across the school, and within the PE department they will help to promote participation in lessons by ensuring that all students are able to continue accessing the curriculum comfortably and confidently.

Year 7-10 Families: Any items of uniform/PE kit that your child has outgrown would be most welcome too.

Donations can be left at the school office or with the PE team. We will be very grateful for any support that you are able to provide.

We are delighted to invite you to our Creative Arts Showcase on Tuesday 30th June. The evening will celebrate the creativity and talent of Alsager School students, featuring a range of performances including solo acts, larger music ensembles, drama, and dance performances.
Alongside the performances, there will also be a dedicated Art Exhibition in PE3, where you can view a fantastic display of GCSE and A Level Art and Photography work.
This is a great opportunity to celebrate the imagination and hard work of our students across the Creative Arts. Students have been working extremely hard to prepare, and we are sure you will enjoy a vibrant and entertaining evening.

Schedule:
5.45pm - Doors open
6.00pm - Performance begins
7.30pm - Exhibition and performance closes

All tickets are £4 and are available via ParentPay until midday on Monday 29th June. Tickets are limited, so we encourage early booking. Please note that no physical tickets will be issued. Entry will be checked against the ParentPay list on arrival.

We look forward to welcoming families in to school on Tuesday 30th June.

Our eight Pekin Bantam chicks are now 12 days old. They have more than doubled in size and are sporting some very impressive feathery feet! The plan is to move them to their new Forest School home in the next week so they can begin their new life helping students to learn more about animal husbandry and lifecycles.

The results are finally in for our Biology photography competition to celebrate Sir David Attenborough's 100 birthday. It was an incredibly difficult task choosing between all the fantastic images sent in by our students and staff, but our judges eventually settled on three winners for each category:
Congratulations to:
Key Stage 3 - Erin J (1st), Henry N (2nd) and Joe J (3rd)
Key Stage 4 - Finnian W (1st), Nia M (2nd) and Findal W (3rd)
Key Stage 5 - Silas W (1st), Millie S (2nd) and Caitlyn B (3rd)
Staff - Mrs Shaw (1st), Mrs Carrigg (2nd) and Mrs Markham (3rd)
Well done to all our winners and to everyone who took part.

Tomorrow morning, during registration, around 50 of our Year 8 students will take part in an Ambition Assembly, when they will get the chance to interview the members of Alsager School staff who they have nominated as their role models.
We hope that this will inspire the students and give them the ambition and persistence they need to help them achieve their own goals and best outcomes.
