Keep Calm and Bake Shrewsbury Biscuits!
Our Year 8 students have come back from half term full of energy and enthusiasm, and it’s been fantastic to see them diving into the history of our very own famous Shrewsbury biscuits!
With just 7 weeks left of the school year, their excitement for learning is still going strong and it’s certainly been a busy (and delicious!) few lessons. From traditional recipes featuring currants and zesty lemon flavours, to some creative twists with chocolate chips, there has been plenty to impress us.

We’re incredibly proud of the effort, creativity, and skill they’ve shown so far. Well done, Year 8!

STEM Clubbers have made an exciting start to the summer term with a friendly competition to see who can grow the biggest metal salt crystals! It’s been fantastic to see students so engaged, enjoying hands-on science and exploring their curiosity in a fun, creative way.
After-school clubs like this are a wonderful opportunity for students to learn informally, build friendships, and grow in confidence. We love seeing such enthusiasm for STEM at Shrewsbury Academy!

We’re delighted to celebrate the success of our recent all-years, all-abilities cricket club, which has brought together students from across the school in a fantastic display of commitment and enthusiasm. Our students have shown incredible energy and it has been inspiring to see players of different ages and abilities coming together with a shared passion, demonstrating determination and pride.
Beyond developing cricket skills, the club has created a positive environment that encourages teamwork, friendly competition, and mutual respect. Students have embraced the opportunity to work collaboratively, celebrate each other’s successes, and challenge themselves in a supportive setting. Activities like this play a vital role in promoting an active, healthy lifestyle while building confidence and a strong sense of community, something we are incredibly proud to foster.

From Post-16 Pathways to Premier League Coaching!
We were delighted to welcome a tutor from LLS, based at The Grove in Market Drayton, who spoke to our students about the wide range of Post-16 pathways available to them. It was a valuable opportunity for students to explore their next steps and start thinking about their futures.
Alongside this, we were thrilled to host a special session for our Year 10 Sports Studies students, led by a guest coach from Everton Academy. Students not only took part in a practical football coaching session, but also gained insight into career opportunities within coaching. The coach demonstrated how to plan and deliver a high-quality technical session, bringing real Premier League experience to our students.
It was an inspiring morning filled with positivity, engagement, and exciting conversations. Our students gained a fantastic insight into both Post-16 options and the many opportunities within football and coaching.
A huge thank you to our visitors for such a memorable experience!
