Colwall Youth Choir

Last Friday, the church was filled with music and pride as Mrs Hardwick’s Colwall Youth Choir — made up of both current and former Colwall pupils — took to the stage for a wonderful concert. The choir sang beautifully, showcasing the hard work and teamwork they’ve put in over recent weeks. Several pupils also stepped forward for impressive solo performances, sharing their talents through both singing and piano pieces. Congratulations to all involved for creating such a memorable evening, and a special thank you to Mrs Hardwick for her dedication and the tremendous effort she put into organising this fantastic event.

Maths Challenge

Our Year 6 pupils did a fantastic job representing our school at the Maths Challenge held at The Downs School this week. They approached every task with enthusiasm and determination, working brilliantly as teams and showcasing their problem-solving skills. All of the pupils performed exceptionally well and Olivia’s team, even achieved an impressive third place! Well done to everyone involved—you were wonderful ambassadors for our school.
