Summer Round-up!
Read on to find out what our schools have been up to during this half term....
Sports Week at Bird's Bush Primary
This year saw another successful Sports Week at Bird's Bush Primary School. Starting with an opening ceremony and torch parade, children took part in Level 1 competitions which were ran by the Bird's Bush junior leadership team. Families attended a very first family picnic which was an amazing event and really well attended. It was such a success, it's going to be an annual event moving forward.
Falconry Centre Visit Mesty Croft Primary
On the 1st of July Wednesbury Rotary Club provided funding for all primary schools in Wednesbury to receive a visit from The Falconry Centre in Hagley, Stourbridge. Fiona, the Falconer brought along three owls, a kestrel and an eagle and flew them in the hall for the children to see. They were mesmerized! Fiona shared lots of interesting facts about each bird that she presented. Mesty Croft are very grateful to Wednesbury Rotary Club for this experience.
Sledmere Primary Welcome Jess Clarke and ActivKids UK!
Sledmere Primary were thrilled to welcome ActivKids UK and ex-Lioness footballer, Jess Clarke into school for a day full of energy, inspiration, and teamwork! The whole school took part in a sponsored fitness circuit, led by Jess, with children showing incredible enthusiasm and determination throughout the event.
Thanks to the amazing effort and generosity of pupils, families, and the wider school community, Sledmere raised an incredible £2,634! Of this, £1,183 will go directly towards the development of the school playground—an investment that will benefit all of Sledmere children for years to come. The remaining funds will support unsponsored athletes.
What a fantastic example of community spirit and giving back!
A huge thank you to everyone who took part and contributed—what a day to remember!
Dunstall Hill Year Six Leavers Shine in Willy Wonka Performance
To mark the end of their primary school journey, Year 6 pupils at Dunstall Hill Primary School delivered a fantastic performance of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory as part of their Leavers’ Assembly. The children wowed the audience with their acting, singing and stage presence, bringing the magical world of Wonka to life. A huge well done to all involved - What a wonderful way to say goodbye!
Glastonperry!
Perry Hall have had a very musical final few weeks of the year. Performing Arts Club delivered a brilliant performance of The Wizard of Oz (Act 1) where the children acted, sang and danced their hearts out on their way to the Emerald City - definitely Defying Gravity! The annual GlastonPerry music festival took place with children from Reception to Year 6 performing a range of songs from musicals and a dance in the sun (the YMCA was definitely a hit!).
Outstanding performances Perry Hall - well done!

Berrybrook Primary Art Exhibition at Wolverhampton Art Gallery
This term, talented pupils from Berrybrook Primary School had the opportunity to showcase their creativity at Wolverhampton Art Gallery! The gallery opened its doors for a very special exhibition from an aspiring group of artists—Berrybrook's very own children.
The exhibition featured an array of artwork created by students across all year groups and included work that was created in conjunction with RAF Cosford for their 80 years VE Day celebrations. The display was a true celebration of our children's artistic expression and exploration of different types of media and inspiration.
Parents, teachers, and members of the local community gathered at the gallery to admire the children's work which was celebrated with a selection of refreshments. The pride on our children's faces was unmistakable as they stood beside their creations, explaining their inspirations and the stories behind each piece.
Berrybrook are so proud of the children's designs and are very grateful to staff for their hard work, such as Miss Mair who collated the collection and liaised with the gallery.
Woodthorne's Outdoor Art Gallery
Woodthorne children created their very own outdoor art exhibition. Every year group from nursery to year 6 took part to create a beautiful piece of nature-inspired artwork to showcase in their outdoor gallery. Hundreds of parents visited to celebrate the hard work and artistic talent on show.
Congratulations!

As we reach the end of another academic year, I would like to express my sincere thanks to all of our families for your ongoing support. Without these important partnerships, our children wouldn't be able to succeed they way they do in our schools.
I would like to wish all of our year 6 leavers the very best of luck as they embark on their next chapter. I am sure the future is very bright for them all.
Whatever you have planned for the Summer holiday period, I hope that you get chance to rest and spend time doing things you enjoy and I look forward to seeing everyone again in September!
