The Old Hall School

The conditions were perfect this morning for the visiting #Virgin Hot Air Balloon tether to take flight!

All of our children gathered outside to see the breath-taking spectacle. There were lots of squeals and gasps of excitement when the balloon lifted off the ground!

A few brave teachers volunteered to go up in the balloon, who got a great birds-eye view of our school site.

Thank you to the Virgin Balloon Flights team for making this such a fun, exciting and memorable day for everyone!

We're delighted to announce that two of our Upper School children have made it through to the final of the Shrewsbury School Art Competition, which is taking place tomorrow! 🎨🖼️🖌️

We want to wish you both you very best of luck! 🤞

What an amazing afternoon our children had at the Under 11 Hockey Tournament yesterday, at Wrekin College 🏑

Competing against a whole host of other talented schools, our Old Hall girls fought hard to take first place and our boys battled it out equally as hard to come in second!

There was some truly skillful play on show by both teams and it was a pleasure to watch you all on the pitch.

Well done! 🙌

What a fantastic way to end our series of music concerts, this Lent Term 🎶

We were treated to performances by our orchestra, brass ensemble and house band - The Small Furry Animals 🎸

The standard of music was incredible and we look forward to see you all play again, next term!

Just a drop in the ocean of support required by Ukrainian families at the moment. Old Hall parents and pupils gave generously and some of the children delivered supplies to a nominated collection centre in Wellington this morning.

To Ukraine with love! ❤️

It was a fantastic start to the morning here at Old Hall, with our Year 3 - 6 pupils putting on a fabulous woodwind concert! 🎶

Confidence shone from everyone and it's an absolute joy to see the variety of instruments and their improvement since their last performance!

Well done! 👏
