Sarum Trading Card Club returns this Thursday! Students thoroughly enjoyed the club during its first term, and it's been fantastic to see so many of them getting involved and developing a real enthusiasm for the hobby. I'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has kindly donated football cards so far your generosity has made a real difference, and the students have greatly appreciated it as they begin their collections. If anyone has any trading cards they no longer need and would be willing to donate, it would be very gratefully received. We'd also love to welcome some new faces, so do come along on Thursday! Mr Gale
Wishing all our students and families a wonderful Easter break! Have a restful, well-deserved breakwe look forward to seeing everyone next term!

Our egg-ceptional canteen team have well and truly cracked it again this Easter! They've scrambled together an egg-stra special spread of treats for both staff and students, and it's safe to say they've hatched plenty of smiles across the school! Every year they go over-easy on the effort (never!) and always deliver something to shell-ebratethis time was no eggs-ception! A huge thank you to our cracking team for all your hard workyou're simply egg-mazing!
National School Football Week Kicks Off at Sarum National School Football Week is officially underway at Sarum, and the excitement across the school is already building. Yesterday marked the first of our yeargroup House competitions, with Year 7 setting the standard in a fantastic display of teamwork, energy, and House spirit. Alongside the main competitions, our daily House challenges on the 3G have added an extra layer of fun and friendly rivalry. Monday's keepyuppy challenge drew an impressive number of participants, while today's crossbar challenge brought plenty of drama and some outstanding attempts. The week continues to gather momentum. We're looking forward to seeing our Year 8 and Year 9 students take to the pitch for their House competitions later in the week. Today's lunchtime penalty shootout has been another highlight, with students doing really well under pressure. It's shaping up to be a brilliant week of football, participation, and House pride across Sarum. Challenge Winners So far: Keepy Up Challenge – Adrian R Crossbar Challenge – Josh C
Please support Miss Gough tomorrow raising funds for her charity for her London Marathon run.
Day 2 in the New Forest = a big success Blue skies, contour skills, micro-navigation, bearings, pacing, timing... and lots of progress from both our Silver and Gold teams Today, contours were king and students rose brilliantly to the challenges set for them. Confidence is growing, teamwork is strong, and everyone is feeling ready for the final day tomorrow Also, in true expedition style: boots have disintegrated smiles have broadened hammocks have been slept in s'mores have been eaten navigation skills are now on point A cracking second day all round onwards to tomorrow's full expedition day!
The Big Speak 2026 We are incredibly proud to celebrate the outstanding winners of this year's Big Speak final: Year 7 Winner: William A Year 8 Winner: Maggie S Year 9 Winner: Alice-Anne T Each of these students delivered confident, thoughtful and engaging speeches on their given topics, an incredible achievement in front of their peers. A huge well done to all finalists who took part. Not only was the standard exceptionally high, but every student played a part in creating a supportive and celebratory environment for one another, something we are especially proud to see. We're already looking forward to next year! Mr Leyland
Had a brilliant first day out in the New Forest with our Silver and Gold Duke of Edinburgh's Award practice expedition teams. This evening, students have been working on the fundamentals of navigation, building confidence in the basics before we head further into the forest tomorrow to develop contour skills and micro-navigation. They're now enjoying a well-earned chance to relax around the fire with s'mores. It's been a really positive start to the weekend, and I'm looking forward to seeing them continue to grow in confidence, independence and teamwork over the next couple of days.
