This year’s theme is Smart tech, safe choices, supporting everyone to explore how AI can be used safely, responsibly and ethically in schools.
We believe AI should enhance learning and creativity while keeping children’s wellbeing at the centre. Human skills like curiosity, critical thinking and meaningful connection will always matter most.
To mark the day, we are sharing a video to help you understand generative AI. It supports children to navigate the world of AI, spot AI generated images and think critically about what they see online.
This week, we are proud to support Children’s Mental Health Week. It is an important reminder that every child’s wellbeing matters and that small moments of care, connection and encouragement can make a big difference.
At school, we offer a range of support for our children, including trusted adults to talk to, calm spaces when they need time to reset, wellbeing activities in class and opportunities to build friendships and confidence.
Here are a few simple ways families can support children at home:
➡️Make time to talk. Even five minutes of uninterrupted conversation can help children share how they feel. ➡️Keep routines steady. Predictable mornings, bedtimes and meal times help children feel secure. ➡️Celebrate small wins. Noticing strengths, effort and kindness boosts confidence. ➡️Encourage movement and fresh air. A short walk or playtime can lift mood and reduce stress. ➡️Model calm.
Children learn a lot from how we handle challenges, so showing calm and patience helps them do the same 💛
Together, we can help our children feel supported, confident and ready to thrive.
Get ready for an exciting Dragon's Den style challenge.
Students from across our Trust will be pitching their brilliant ideas on 12th March to secure funding before heading off to bring their projects to life.
They will then return to present the impact of their work at our Showcase Day on 9th July at Shrewsbury School. We cannot wait to see their creativity and innovation unfold✨

We are pleased to share that The Marches Academy Trust has been awarded the Bronze Award under the Ministry of Defence Defence Employer Recognition Scheme.
This award celebrates our commitment to supporting serving personnel, reservists, veterans and Armed Forces families.
Achieving Bronze shows we are a forces friendly employer and value the skills and experience the Armed Forces community brings to our Trust. It also means we continue to promote a positive and inclusive environment for colleagues connected to the Armed Forces and ensure fair treatment in recruitment and career progression.
This follows the signing of the Armed Forces Covenant at Grove last year. We are very proud of our work with the Armed Forces and the wonderful forces families in Team Grove 💙
Last week, Mr Allsopp attended the High Sheriff of Shropshire Awards in Telford, where he and everyone at Grove were recognised for the great and valuable services we provide to our community.
With over thirty awards presented on the night, it was inspiring to see so many people celebrated for their positive impact across Shropshire.
A huge well done to our students, staff and families who continue to make a real difference in our community and beyond 😊
