Our friends from the church came in this morning to do another whole school Open the Book. This morning, they performed the story of “The Unforgiving Servant” with some help from a few children in Owl Class. This helped us reflect on our school value of the month “Forgiveness”.

Summer Term 2024 -Owl Class
Hello Owl Class. I, Mr Arthur, will be your teacher starting from April 8th. Attached is the information for the upcoming term.
I’ve very much enjoyed meeting you all so far and I hope that we can have a hard-working and enjoyable end to the year!
See you all on the 8th!
Mr Arthur
Clive Cross country – Saturday morning
A brilliantly energetic team of our children gave up their Saturday mornings to attend the annual Clive School cross country event. A huge well done to all of the runners – Ruyton certainly won the trophy for the smiliest finishers!
All of our children finished the “proper cross country” course up the field and round the woods – they were all superstars! In addition, Magnus finished 3rd in his race and earned a medal, whilst Percy – who was enjoying his 10th birthday- competed against older year sixes and managed seventh position!
A special thank you to Deejay (Devon’s mum) for all her support on the morning and for completing the fun run with Rupert too!
Year 6 Forensic Science Day
Our Year 6s have had a brilliant day at the Corbet School participating in a Forensic Science Workshop. Bunsen burners, soluble and insoluble powders, microscope and hair to solve the clues for a “whodunnit”?!
The Year 6s had a wonderful time!
Celebration Assembly 22nd February
It’s been an active week at Ruyton this week! Bikeability, Cross Country AND a Dodgeball Championship!
Firstly, a huge well done to our Year 6s who underwent Bikeability Training from Shropshire Council. This entailed two days of working with instructors to prove their ability to ride their bikes on the road safely including independent decision making around traffic in the village. We are proud that everyone who took part completed their Level 2 Bikeability!
Well done Year 6 🌟
Our KS2 Dodgeball Team then attended the Thomas Adams School in Wem for the North Shropshire Finals of the competition (following their success in Autumn Term).
Incredibly, our team – consisting of Year 4,5 and 6 players – got through to the semi-finals before narrowly losing out!
A massive well done to all the players involved – it is a super achievement for our small school and you represented us fantastically well.
Cross Country @ Corbet
All children in KS2 (Year 3, 4,5, 6) participated in a cross-country event at the Corbet School on Wednesday. Everyone completed the course – many for the first time- and showed super determination to achieve their best. Well done Team Ruyton!
