Sports for Champions...further details
Wed 09 Feb 2022Sports for Champions
Visit from an elite athlete David Smith, High Jumper
At the beginning of last week information was shared on the website (latest news) about an elite athlete visiting our school on Thursday 10th March 2022. I am pleased to announce the athlete will be David Smith, a Commonwealth Games high jumper.
Two years ago, 2020, gymnast Dominick Cunningham visited and spent time with the children leading a fitness circuit and talking to everyone about his career, his training, his inspirations and his ambitions. This year at the Commonwealth Games he is competing in the gymnastics event representing England.
All the children enjoyed completing the short fitness circuit, listening to him and asking him questions and I am sure he would have inspired many children. Children were encouraged to raise money for our school through being sponsored by family/friends and we were amazed at the total amount of money raised £1,101
The whole school event on 10th March this year is very similar to that of 2020. The visit will take the following format:
· Each class will complete a fun 10 minute circuit of exercises
· The athlete will lead a talk for the children. They will talk about their specific sporting experience, the basics of their sport and their progress through to more difficult skills they have learnt through their sporting career. They will incorporate the 4 Key Elements associated with success – Teamwork, Responsibility, Communication and Creativity. This relates well to our sports values that the children work towards in school.
· Question from the children
During the last week we have talked to all the classes about the visit, shared a video of the fitness circuit they will participate in and given each child a sponsor form to bring home.
The following are the rewards on offer.
If your child raises between:
£5-£14.99 BRONZE – Receive a signed postcard of their athlete
£15-£34.99 SILVER – Receive a signed poster of their athlete
£35 or more GOLD – Receive an autographed instant photo of themselves and their athlete presented in a keep sake wallet (siblings are welcome to have a group photo with their athlete)
If you are able to raise money through this event that would be great
In order for us to organise photos and signings and have the rewards ready on the day the athlete is here, we would appreciate any sponsor money, along with the sponsor form, to be returned to school by Thursday 3rd March
We will take lots of photos and we are also inviting the local press to attend to highlight the visit and raise the profile of our school in the community.
Key Dates:
31/01/22 Event shared with pupils and sponsor forms given out
03/03/22 Sponsor forms and money collected
10/03/22 Athlete visit
Thank you, as always, for all your support.

Sports for Champions
Mon 31 Jan 2022Great news! On Thursday 10th March an elite athlete will be visiting our school. They will be working alongside our children participating in an exciting fitness circuit, they will also be leading an inspiring assembly.
You may recall, back in 2020 Dominick Cunningham, a world class gymnast, visited us. All the children took part in the fitness workshop and thoroughly enjoyed the day. I do not yet know who the athlete will be for this year's visit but I am sure it will be an exciting day again.
Over the next couple of days, each class will watch a short DVD about the impending visit and will then bring home a sponsor form. Hopefully, as a school, we will be able to raise some money for our sports provision. More details will follow about sponsorship and the day itself. Of course we wait with anticipation to hear who our visiting athlete is going to be!

Message to our Families from The Governors of Wolverley Sebright
Fri 10 Dec 2021End of Term Message from the
Governors of Wolverley Sebright
Dear Families,
I write to you as we find ourselves yet again at the end of another year! Like many, I find myself wondering where the last 12 months have gone. For Wolverley Sebright the last 12 months have seen disruption to learning as a result of the pandemic. Despite these disruptions, I am always amazing and inspired by the commitment and passion shown by our pupils and staff. They have all adapted and taken everything in their stride, as they continue to embrace our schools moto - ‘Learn Grow Achieve’.
Despite the disruption, Wolverley Sebright has continued its journey, our School Nursery is full with smiling faces, our building works are completed providing our pupils with fantastic learning facilities and pupils have continued to learn and develop. As Governors, our focus continues to be ensuring all pupils make progress and are provided with the best opportunities in and out of lesson.
I am honoured to be a part of the Wolverley Sebright community, where myself and the rest of the governors look forward to the next 12 months and working in partnership with Mrs Reeves-Walters, the staff and yourselves as our families to provide our pupils with the best possible opportunities.
If you would like any further information, or to raise or ask any questions, please see Mrs Hackett in the School Office.
From myself and all the Governors, we wish everyone in our community a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Sincerely
Andy Whordley
Chair of Governors

Incident at Wolverley Surgery 8th November 2021
Fri 12 Nov 2021We were notified of an incident which occurred on Monday 8th November where a car hit an ambulance which was attending an emergency at Wolverley Doctors surgery.
Fortunately, no one was injured, however the car park at the time was full of cars with parents picking up school children from school - this could be parents of the primary or secondary school pupils. Surgery Staff approached the cars to advise them that they must not park there, only to be met with verbal abuse which will not be tolerated. If this happens again, we have been told the police will be informed.
Therefore, could we please ask that all students' parents do not park on the surgery car park as this is for surgery use only.
Many thanks
Mrs Hackett
