At Sir John Talbot's School, our students have been diving into an exciting science project exploring the Geocentric and Heliocentric models of the solar system! 🌍☀️
Through hands-on activities and engaging discussions, they are discovering how our understanding of the universe has evolved over time. It's amazing to see their curiosity and enthusiasm as they learn about the structure of our solar system and the pivotal figures in its history.

🎉 Charlie Sambrook Wins 2024 BBC Make a Difference Award for Bravery! 🎉
We are incredibly proud to share that our very own Charlie Sambrook has been honoured with the prestigious 2024 BBC Make a Difference Award for Bravery! 🏆
Charlie's remarkable journey of resilience and courage has touched the hearts of many across the UK. After being diagnosed with cancer at a young age, Charlie endured numerous surgeries and treatments. When he joined our school, he was using a wheelchair, but through his determination, strength, and positivity, he has made a remarkable recovery that continues to inspire all of us here at Tilstock.
Charlie's story gained national attention when he wrote a personal letter of advice and encouragement to King Charles III following His Majesty’s cancer diagnosis. This heartfelt letter, which was published, brought Charlie widespread admiration and started his journey to the spotlight.
Since then, Charlie has been featured on BBC Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt, appeared on BBC Radio Shropshire, and was covered by Midlands Today. His bravery truly resonated with people across the country. Headteacher of Tilstock Primary School Rowena Kaminski, who nominated Charlie for this prestigious award, said: "We are beyond proud of Charlie. His journey has been incredibly challenging, but through it all, he has shown immense courage and compassion. His strength of character and resilience are truly inspirational.”
At the awards ceremony on Friday, 20th September at The Anstice Hall, Charlie competed against an inspiring group of finalists and was announced the winner! 🎉✨
Whitchurch Mayor Andy Hall also praised Charlie, saying, "Charlie’s bravery and compassion have inspired our entire community. His journey is a testament to the power of hope and determination. We are all immensely proud of his achievements."
Charlie's story continues to inspire people of all ages, showing us that even in the face of adversity, hope and kindness can shine through. 🌟
Please join us in congratulating Charlie on this incredible achievement! 👏👏

🌟 ONEVoice – Belonging in the World 2024-25 Launch Event 🌟
We recently celebrated the launch of ONEVoice – Belonging in the World at the stunning Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury! 🎉
This marks the second year of the ONEVoice initiative, supported by wonderful partners including Interactive Opportunities (Shrewsbury), Coforge (Telford), Harley Nursery (Shrewsbury), Agrii (Cheltenham), and New Era Printing (Shrewsbury).
The event brought together 100 students from 10 primary and secondary schools across our Trust. It was a fantastic opportunity to foster community engagement and recognise cultural identity within our school communities. 🌍🤝
ONEVoice aims to inspire and engage our pupils by helping them connect with their school and local communities. The program encourages creativity, teamwork, communication, resilience, and boosts self-esteem, all while nurturing a sense of belonging.
Thank you to everyone involved for making this event a success! We’re excited for another year of growth and connection.

A huge congratulations to our 19 Silver DofE students who took on the challenge of climbing Snowdon this Saturday as part of a team-building activity! 🌟 Despite the tough moments, everyone pushed through and made it to the summit. 💪
Though the top was covered in cloud, we were treated to some incredible views of Snowdonia on the way up. 🌄
Well done to all involved for your determination and teamwork—it was a fantastic achievement!
Our Year 8 and 9 students attended an important assembly on "Ban the Banter" with Miss Webb, focusing on the impact of discriminatory language against protected characteristics, such as race, sexual orientation, and disability. We're committed to fostering a positive and inclusive environment for all our students. 💬🚫
We’ve also enjoyed reading the fantastic suggestions from students about the rewards they'd like to see at school. Non-uniform days and food-based rewards seem to be very popular, and we’ll be looking to implement some of these ideas soon! 🍕👕
Lastly, a huge thank you to all the students who volunteered their time to support our Open Evening on Thursday. You were a credit to SJT and really helped show prospective pupils and parents what makes our school special. 🌟👏
This week, our Year 11 Geography students visited the River Clywedog at Erddig to carry out their physical fieldwork enquiry. The focus of their investigation was the question: "Does the River Clywedog follow the Bradshaw model?"
Using a range of fieldwork techniques, students measured the gradient, width, depth, and velocity of the river, fully embracing the opportunity to apply their practical geography skills. 🌿📏 These valuable experiences will support them as they prepare for Paper 3 of their GCSE Geography exam.
Well done to all our budding geographers for their hard work and enthusiasm! 👏
