🥾 Year 9 Bronze DofE - First Steps on the Trail! 🗺️☀️
Our Year 9 Bronze Duke of Edinburgh students had their first real taste of navigation recently as they completed their training walk along the beautiful Sandstone Trail in Cheshire.
With clear skies and stunning views across the Cheshire Plain, it was the perfect day to put their skills into practice! 🌄🌿
Each group did brilliantly, showing great teamwork, resilience, and a growing confidence in their navigation. Even when a few took a wrong turn, they quickly worked together to self-correct and find their way back on track. A fantastic effort all round!
Well done, everyone, you’re off to a great start on your DofE journey! 💪👏
On 23rd May, we held a special celebration for our amazing Year 13 students as they marked the end of their time at Sir John Talbot’s School.
The afternoon was filled with laughter, reflection, and a few emotional moments as students came together to enjoy a BBQ and take part in their final assembly. It was a chance to reminisce, share memories, and celebrate everything they’ve achieved during their time with us.
We are so proud of how hard they’ve worked in preparation for their exams and wish them the very best of luck in the weeks ahead. 🍀✍️
We’re already looking forward to welcoming them back on Results Day - Thursday 14th August, to celebrate their achievements and the exciting futures that await them.
Well done, Year 13 - you will always be a part of the SJT family. 💫
🎶 Ultraviolet Harmony Shines at the Whitchurch Food and Drink Festival! 🌭🎤☀️
Jubilee Park was alive with music, laughter, and community spirit as the local area came together for the Food and Drink Festival and Sir John Talbot’s Senior Band, Ultraviolet Harmony, took centre stage!
Performing a fantastic set of upbeat pop tunes, classic rock favourites, and a few well-loved sing-alongs, the band had the crowd tapping their feet and singing along. Each song was met with cheers and applause, showing just how much the audience appreciated the talent, energy, and effort of our young musicians. 🎸🎤👏
It was a joyful afternoon filled with local pride, great food, and brilliant live music—and we couldn't be prouder of Ultraviolet Harmony for representing us with such enthusiasm and professionalism.
