Touch Rugby Champions! Yesterday, 9 superb Sarum athletes from year 7 & 8 took part in a touch rugby tournament at St. John's Marlborough. This was their FIRST EVER rugby competition & as a result were pretty nervous! However, nobody would have known as their performances were strong from the first whistle. With phenomenal speed throughout & a solid (virtually unbeatable) defensive line, Sarum managed to win 8 / 9 matches, only drawing the other, making them the overall tournament winners. As always, their sportsmanship & teamwork was exceptional & we couldn't be more proud of how they represented the Academy! Huge congratulations, girls! School Games here we come!
Queue jump pass for Grace and Josh for being excellent ambassadors for Sarum on our visit to Sarum St Paul's today
A Fantastic Week of Girls' Sport at the Academy! Over the past week, our girls have been busy representing the academy across a range of sporting fixturesand what a brilliant week it's been! Year 7 Girls' Football Tournament Two teams of six took to the pitch to compete against local schools. The girls showed superb teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship throughout the day. They represented the academy outstandingly and should be incredibly proud of their efforts. Year 7 Netball Fixture Our Year 7 netball team faced some strong competition but rose to the challenge with impressive communication, teamwork, and resilience. Their positive attitude and commitment were clear from start to finish. Year 8 & 9 Girls' Football Tournament with 26 girls taking part and the sun shining, our Year 8 and 9 players delivered a fantastic display of football skills and game understanding. From great goals to fabulous defending, the day was full of smiles, energy, and memorable moments. A huge well done to all the girls involvedyou continue to make us proud with your enthusiasm, talent, and team spirit!
Science Fair Reminder A quick reminder that our Science Fair will be open to parents today from 14:00–15:00. Parents are warmly invited to come along and see the fantastic projects and experiments our students have been working so hard on. It's a great opportunity to celebrate their creativity, curiosity, and scientific thinking! We look forward to welcoming you and sharing the wonderful work produced by our students.
Yesterday, our Year 9 students sadly got stuck in the A303 accident for hours meaning they missed their trip to London. We are hoping to reschedule this shortly. It was lovely to come into school today to a member of the public who has gone out of their way to email the following after the coaches stopped at the service station: "I work in Weyhill services... I would like to congratulate how well your staff handled the situation and behaviour of the students was outstanding, please pass on my congratulations to the staff and students on how well they represented your academy." Well done Year 9!

Yesterday we took a fantastic group of Year 9–10 girls to Tidworth Oval to celebrate International Women's Day with an Army Team Building experience. They rotated through a range of activities led by different Army departments from engineering challenges with tyres and mechanical cranes to testing their precision and aim with the Royal Artillery. Our students were outstanding throughout the day. They tackled every task with grit, determination, and brilliant teamwork. A special shoutout to Jess Oxford, who was named Engineer of the Day by all the Army contingents. Her standout moment? Beating every other student and even some staff by changing a Land Rover tyre in an incredible 3.56 seconds. Well done to all the students who took part. A great day out and a brilliant celebration of the strength and potential of young women. Mr Pearce
Yesterday , 13 members of our Drama Club from Years 7, 8 and 9 had the fantastic opportunity to attend a performance of Rock and Roll Man at Salisbury Playhouse, thanks to our links with Wiltshire Creative. Students thoroughly enjoyed the musical, which tells the true story of the birth of rock and roll. With its energetic songs and performances, many students could barely keep still in their seats! Elijah B in Year 7 said it was "a great show" and that he particularly loved the portrayal of Little Richard. Myself, Mrs Steggel and Mrs Castledine were incredibly proud of the students, whose behaviour throughout the evening was impeccable. They represented the school brilliantly and made the evening even more enjoyable. A huge thank you to Wiltshire Creative and Salisbury Playhouse for providing such a wonderful opportunity for our students, and to all the parents and carers for supporting the trip and accommodating the late evening! Mr Leyland
