On Friday, Year 3 and 4 welcomed Rachel Delahaye into school to deliver Spark-A-Story workshops. The sessions focused on showing pupils that everyone has imagination and that coming up with story ideas can be easier than they think.
After a short talk about how authors create stories, Rachel guided the children through fun activities where they invented characters, built storylines, and shared their own ideas. The workshop had a light-hearted and creative atmosphere, helping pupils feel more confident about their own storytelling. ✏️📚

Amazing effort from our Reception and Key Stage 1 students during the annual open swim 🏊

A level History students were blown away by SIX musical in January! What a fantastic experience, and the show was truly brilliant!!

Y3 Powerful Plants Drama Workshop 🌸🌱🌿

Today, Our year 3 pupils took part in an exciting Powerful Plants drama workshop, bringing the world of plants and flowers to life through imaginative role play and interactive activities.
During the session, children explored how plants grow and why they are important to our world, while learning new vocabulary and asking thoughtful questions. The workshop encouraged creativity, confidence and teamwork, while also helping pupils develop their speaking and listening skills.
It was a fun and engaging experience that allowed children to learn about plants in a creative and memorable way!

Inspiring Futures at The Royal: Year 10 ‘Next Steps’ Event

On Tuesday 10th March, The Royal School hosted an exciting Year 10 ‘Next Steps’ Careers Event, giving pupils the opportunity to explore the many pathways available to them after the age of 16.
We were delighted to welcome a range of guest speakers from universities, colleges and industry who shared their experiences and advice with our students. Former Royal School students Dan Fletcher (Co-op) and Rohin Chagger (Crowe Accountants) returned to speak about their career journeys and the opportunities available through degree apprenticeships.
Representatives from Dudley College and King Edward VI College spoke to pupils about college life and the wide range of courses available. Students also gained valuable insights into university life from Aston University and Lancaster University, while speakers from the NHS, Endeavour Restaurants, and the Department for Work and Pensions shared information about apprenticeships and employment opportunities.
The event gave pupils a chance to ask questions, explore their options and begin thinking about their future pathways. Many students commented on how helpful the experience was:
“Today has given me a clear insight into what university is like and what they expect.”
“I realised there are many more things I can do in the future.”
“The event has given me more options and opportunities to explore.”
We would like to thank all of our visitors for giving up their time to support our students and help inspire the next stage of their journeys.
