Our Year 5/6 Tag Rugby team participated in the local area competition this week. They thoroughly enjoyed their morning getting covered in mud and refining their rugby skills with three other local primaries! Well done to the squad for such a great effort.
We were excited to be able to send a squad of 18 of our Year 3/4/5/6 children to a Panathlon Bowling event at Hollywood Bowl, Shrewsbury, recently. The event aimed to provide a wider range of children the opportunity to participate in a competitive event but in a friendly, fun atmosphere, whilst learning skills on bowling along the way!
Our staff were very proud of all our pupils and how they conducted themselves throughout the event, showing all our values in sportsmanship. Well done team!
A squad of our Year 5/6 had a great morning out on Wednesday at the local netball competition. Our team have been working really hard on learning the rules of the game and did us proud with their ability to perform the footwork and obstruction rules fairly! Well done to all the children involved.
Unfortunately we are missing shirt / sock / short combinations of this much-loved football kit from over the years. We would really appreciate it if football players (past and present!) could check and see if any kit has accidentally been stashed away and get it returned to school! Thank you!

Football Round-Robin – the season starts
We celebrated our fantastic football teams this morning following their first fixtures of the new school year. Last night, Ruyton hosted a round-robin tournament where Baschurch and Myddle primary school were invited to come and play. It was fantastic to see both of our school fields full of matches, with TWO pitches for the girls’ teams and another for the boys, plus lots of supporters on the sideline!
A special congratulations to all our players who were playing their first ever match last night, particularly amongst the girls: we were so proud to see 14 of our Year 5/6 girls wanting to play and compete! Also to the boy’s team who are made up of mostly Year 4s this year – what a cracking effort to hold some tough teams to close games. We can’t wait for the next match already!
