🤝 Join Our Parent Partnership Group at Grove School! 🌟
We are excited to announce our plan to establish a Parent Partnership Group! This initiative aims to create a forum for like-minded parents to discuss ideas, fundraise, and become an essential part of the positive changes happening here at Team Grove.
We believe that re-establishing ourselves at the heart of the community is vital, and this group will play an important role in that mission. If you’re interested in being part of this collaborative effort, we would love to hear from you!
Please follow the link below to express your interest, and we will gather as a group in the coming weeks: forms.office.com/e/xbXi18BGEc

🎶 Exciting Times in Our Music Department! 🎶
Since returning in September, our Music Department has been buzzing with activity! We had the pleasure of hosting a visitor from WaterBear, a specialist music college based in Brighton and Sheffield. They shared valuable insights with our Key Stage 4 and 5 students about careers in the music industry and its significant contributions to society.
Following this, professional musician Lex Gibbon led a fantastic song writing workshop for students from Years 9, 10, 11, and the Sixth Form. The day kicked off with students exploring lyric writing, rhyming, and poetry. Later, they picked up instruments and broke into groups, crafting melodies and chords to create their own unique songs. The day wrapped up with all the groups performing their creations for one another, and we can confidently say they had an absolute ball!
We’re so proud of our students’ creativity and enthusiasm for music! For more updates and information about our programs, visit our website: groveschoolmarketdrayton.co.uk

🌍🚌 Year 11 Geographers on the Move! 🚌🌍
Eighty of our fantastic Year 11 students travelled to Llandudno for their Geography field trip, where they put their skills to the test in the real world! 🌊📊
Students conducted surveys to evaluate traffic management strategies from the outskirts of the town into the Central Business District (CBD) and measured sediment samples at the beach to compare rock sizes in different locations. Their hard work and dedication to collecting quality data will be a huge help in their exam preparations for next summer.
A big well done to our Year 11 Geographers for your focus and determination! 👏✨

🎨🌿 Exciting Art Opportunity at The Grove School! 🌿🎨
We are thrilled to announce that The Arts Society North Staffordshire has awarded The Grove School a grant to bring a leading art practitioner into our school! This incredible opportunity will allow a selection of our A Level and GCSE Art students to work with TwigTwisters, a renowned artist known for their beautiful willow-based sculptures. 🙌
The one-day workshop took place on Tuesday, 1st October 2024, and it was a full day of creativity from 8:30 am to 3 pm. During this time, 25 of our students had the chance to explore a new art medium and create their own willow sculptures, guided by a professional artist. This hands-on experience not only boosted their artistic skills but also contribute towards their GCSE or A Level coursework. 🌱🎓
The Arts Society Committee believes that this project is “an excellent opportunity to promote a new and exciting element to develop our students' interest in art.” We couldn't agree more! This workshop will enhance our students' confidence, creativity, and tactile skills while giving them a chance to engage in an art form beyond the standard curriculum.
Thank you to The Arts Society North Staffordshire for this generous grant that helps us bring art to life in new and inspiring ways! To learn more about their work, visit their website: The Arts Society North Staffordshire. You can also check out some of TwigTwisters' amazing creations in their gallery!

🌟 Congratulations to Charlie Toomer! 🚴♂️🏆
Over the summer, our very own Year 10 student, Charlie Toomer, has truly excelled in downhill mountain biking! With two national wins and two podium finishes, he secured the title of ‘U15’s British Downhill’ overall series champion, finishing the year as the top-ranked rider in the UK for his age group!
Not only that, but Charlie also represented us at the European Championships in Champery, Switzerland, where he impressively finished 7th. In July, he became the ‘U15’s National Champion’ at Rhyd Y Fellin near Bala.
Well done, Charlie! Everyone at Team Grove is incredibly proud of you and your achievements! Keep up the fantastic work!
