We were so lucky to welcome Isla’s dad and some beautiful lambs from his farm to Tilstock Primary School 🐑

The children had a wonderful time interacting with the lambs, asking thoughtful questions and even having the chance to bottle feed them. It was such a special experience and a fantastic opportunity to connect with nature.

This visit linked perfectly with our Science learning about placental mammals, bringing our learning to life in such a meaningful way. The children showed kindness, curiosity and great respect to our visitors throughout.

A big thank you for sharing this amazing experience with us!

🎭 Get ready for a

🎶 What an incredible day bringing our Trust together through music!

It was fantastic to welcome 150 singers from Marches Academy Trust schools to St Oswald’s, Oswestry for an inspiring African Gospel Singing workshop. A huge thank you to all the children who joined us – you were all absolutely brilliant! 🌟

The energy in the room was amazing, with children not only enjoying a wide range of songs but also learning about their meaning and importance within African culture. The atmosphere was full of joy, confidence and celebration, with everyone encouraged to take part and express themselves.

We also loved hearing this reflection from Emily:
“We really enjoyed yesterday. We got to sing all sorts of different songs and learnt about what the songs actually mean to African culture. The people were very full of life and so was the crowd. You didn’t have to feel embarrassed to have a good time. Me and my friend even got a special shout out for our effort and interest in the event. It was genuinely a great experience and I would 100% go again.”

👏 What a fantastic experience for everyone involved!
