We received a lovely email from Harriett’s Mum in Year 3 on Monday 9th October 2023.

“Harriet is attending the British Freestyle Dance Championships this weekend in Blackpool.

I have attached a couple of recent pictures of Harriet at competitions and I’ll let you know how she gets on after the weekend.

This will be the first time she has been to such a large competition, so she is very nervous! As she has just turned 8 (at the weekend) she has gone up an age category, so this will also be her first time out in the under 10 category too”.

Wow Harriett, you are amazing! Good luck in your competition. We can’t wait to hear all about it!

We received a lovely email informing us that Gabe and Josh’s football team won the Raiders Football Tournament on Saturday 29th July 2024 at Worcester Warriors.

Everyone is very proud of the hard work they have both put in this season!

Well done Gabe and Josh!

We received an email from Holly’s Mum in Year 4, with some lovely out of school news.

“I just wanted to share some out of school news with you.

During the summer, Holly read 6 books and completed the library reading challenge! Reading hasn’t always come naturally to Holly so we are super proud of her and wanted to also thank Mrs Wares for her support.

I have attached a picture of Holly and the librarian from the medal ceremony at the weekend”.

Well done Holly. This is incredible. Mrs Wares and everyone at Hartlebury is extremely proud of you.

We received a lovely email from Noah’s Mum on Sunday 15th September 2024.

Just thought we’d share Noah’s achievement over the weekend.

Noah suffers with Hypermobility which affects the joints throughout his body. He woke up Saturday morning with a flare-up, in quite some pain but still adamant he wanted to show up to football for his team mates, who wouldn’t have been able to play their match without his attendance due to numbers being short. 

Despite his pain, not only did he show up, he also won himself Man of the Match!

He absolutely smashed it and we are so super proud of him and the resilience he has. 

Well done Noah.

We are all so proud of you!

Well done to Joshua in Year 4 who received Man of the Match in his Rugby game on Sunday 15th October 2023.

This is an amazing achievement Joshua and we are all very proud of you.

Keep on being amazing!

We received a lovely email from Josh and Hermione’s Mum on Friday 13th September 2024.

Just thought I’d let you know of another cycling achievement my two did in the holidays.

We organised and took part in a 24hr cycling event at the Stourport Cycle Circuit raising money for KEMP hospice. One person from each team could be on the cycling circuit at any one time and in relay style, aim to complete as many laps as possible. You could either do it solo, in a pair or as a team.

Hermione and Josh along with a few more of their cycling friends (no older than 11) made a team and completed 418 laps (approx 365 miles).

The hardest part was certainly Josh’s 3am to 5am shift when it was cold and dark, but spirits lifted when he could see the sky starting to change colour as the sun slowly rose.

The event raised nearly £5k for KEMP Hospice and in total racked up enough miles to go from Stourport to Beijing!

The children’s team actually finished 7^th out of 17 entrants and were the only youth riders, simply amazing.

WOW! This is incredible.

Well done Josh and Hermione!

We received a lovely email from Maebelle’s Mum on Monday 16th September 2024.

Maebelle enjoyed an incredible experience this week when she performed in the Paralympics GB Homecoming concert at the Utilita Arena Birmingham.

Maebelle was one of 22 children selected from talent agencies across the country to perform as part of a children’s choir on stage with the British rapper Aitch. Performing live in front of an audience of 15,000 at the concert, recorded Thursday 12th September 2024, to celebrate our amazing athletes. The concert was then televised on Saturday 14th September 2024 on Channel 4. 

Maebelle and the choir, many of which she is now firm friends with, also put in a tremendous amount of work in a short space of time before the concert, with a rehearsal and recording during the summer holiday, costume fittings and dress rehearsals the day before, and final rehearsals on stage for blocking and cameras during the day of the performance. 

A brilliant experience for a young talent! 

Maebelle was also praised for her amazing caring nature by the management agency lead, “your girl is so so beautiful… on the inside as well as outside. The way she looked after others. No one told her to do that .. she’s so kind and caring and a fab performer too.”

Wow Maebelle! What an incredible opportunity for you.

We are all so very proud of you and agree with all of the lovely comments.

Well Done Florence!

We received a lovely email from Florence’s Mum, who was super proud of her for competing in 2 dance competitions.

Mum said ” I just want to share what a brilliant weekend Florence had at her school Feis. She came 1st place in 2 competitions and won ‘most promising dancer of 2023’. She has worked so hard over the year and we are so proud of her!”

Well done Florence. Your Feis Weekend sounds amazing and we are super proud of you too.

We received a lovely email from Florence’s Mum who was so proud of her commitment to the Pauline Quirk Academy.

“Just thought we would share Florence’s 1 Year badge from the Pauline Quirke Academy! She’s been thriving here and continues to grow in confidence! We are so proud of her!”

Well done Florence!

We received a lovely email from the parents of Jessica in Class 4, with some lovely out of school news.

Well Done Jess. Keep up the hard work!

We just wanted to send a quick email to let you know how hard Jess has been working in the garden recently! We’ve been having lots of building work done at home and Jess has really enjoyed making sure that the wildlife is looked after!

She planted lots of different seeds with Heidi which have now all germinated and has been busy feeding the birds every day! She has helped to build the raised beds this weekend ready for her seedlings to be planted into the bed next weekend. She’s created a great bond with a little Robin in the garden that comes and sits by her whilst she digs in the garden and even managed to get the robin to eat a millipede out of her Dads’ hand!

Jess has also created a Compost Bin and has been filling us in on all things eco! We are really proud of how focused and determined she has been with this project! We are secretly hoping that all these vegetables she’s growing may encourage her to eat some!!

Thanks

Hannah and Jack

We received a lovely email from Mum that we just had to share with you all!

“Noah has asked me to send over the Internet Safety Robot he was sent home with from school today. He’s been hard at work since he arrived back and had a great time doing so – even answering most of the questions correctly, too! He has decided to call him Robert “

Well done Noah….Say Hi to Robert for us!

We received a lovely email from Heidi in Year 2 for her Class Teacher Miss Salter.

“Hi Miss Salter, 

I planted some strawberry seeds last year and today I picked my first ripe Strawberry, and have 5 more that are almost ripe! here are some photos! 

From 

Heidi “

Well done Heidi! This is absolutely fantastic.

We hope you enjoyed eating your first home grown strawberry.

We received a lovely email from Hermione’s Mum on Tuesday 17th February 2024.

Wow Hermione! You are amazing!

‘We recently attended the award ceremony for the West Midlands Cyclo-cross league where Hermione won her age category (u6) for the second year running.

She raced in 10 events between September and December, winning every single one.

Cyclo-cross is an off road discipline riding on grass, gravel and copious amounts of mud.

The wet conditions in later races meant she often had to get off her bike and push it through the mud or up steep hills.

She even lost a shoe in one race to a mud pit.

We’re always in awe of her determination and energy.’

Hermione’s big brother Joshua also worked really hard on his self belief and finished 11th in his very competitive u10 Boys section.

Well done Johsua! You are amazing too!

We received a lovely email from Joshua’s Dad in Year 4.

Joshua attended first ever Premier League football game and had the time of his life!

Joshua wanted to share his experience during show and tell.

We hope you had a fabulous time Joshua and your favourite team won the match?

We received a lovely email from Flo’s Dad and we just had to share it!

Who knew we had such an amazing Beekeeper in our lovely school!

“I just wanted to share with you Flo’s first experience as a junior Beekeeper as we received and housed our beautiful honeybees.

Fully suited Noah and Flo helped me to get the frames transferred across into the hive.

I couldn’t be prouder of their enthusiasm to get involved and thought you might like to see.

And of course, yes she had to wear her Harry Potter glasses!”

WOW! How fantastic and how lovely to share the experience as a family.

We received a lovely email from Florence’s Mum in Year 4. We always enjoy reading all of the wonderful out of school news our pupil’s take part in!

“I had to share these photos with you because it was so good!

Florence went to the pollution pods at Edgbaston cricket ground. There were 5 pods all connected by a tunnel, representing London, Norway, New Deli, Beijing and São Paulo.

As you walk through the pods you experience the climate of that particular city, with a screen that explains details on pollution levels, effects on the ozone layer, safety of being outside, etc. it was unbelievable to experience the different climates especially New Delhi where we couldn’t stay long as we couldn’t breathe or barely see!

The exhibition was a must to see, as it brings awareness to other countries’ climates in real life”.

Wow Florence! This sounds incredible. Thank you for sharing this with us.

We received an email from Joshua’s Mum and we just had to share how incredible this is!

“I just wanted to write in to tell you how proud we are of Joshua.

He competed in his first triathlon where he swam 150m, cycled 2km on grass then ran 1.2km.

There’s a lot to think about racing 3 sports instead of just one and extra rules to know.

Josh was simply amazing though and didn’t just finish, he came 3rd! His medal and trophy were certainly well deserved after all the effort he puts in to his sports.

He’s quite rightly proud of himself as well!”

Wow Joshua. What an incredible achievement! You are a real superstar and we are all so proud of you!

We received a lovely picture from Lily in Year 4 and Heath in Year 2, who both went to Go Ape in the Wyre Forest over the weekend.

Lily and Heath were extremely brave going on the zipwire for the very first time.

Lily and Heath tell us they were very wobbly but had lots of fun!

Well done. We are very proud of you both!

Out of School News….Well done boys!

We are super proud of you all. What an achievement!

We hope you are enjoying the celebrations.

Tom, Zac and Oliver had an extremely exciting day on Saturday 25th May 2024, as their team – the Lickhill Colts U11 – won the Stourport League Cup Final. Their equivalent of winning the FA Cup!

They played brilliantly beating the Ravens 3-2.

We thought we’d share the photo with you as we are all very proud of their achievement!
