Good Luck and Farewell

We had a very special day marking the departure of a very special member of the class as she leaves for her new school and exciting adventures ahead. Although she will not be far, we knew it was important to mark this change for us all. A movie afternoon with some treats! Good bye and good luck!

National Memorial Arboretum Trip

We had a fabulous trip to the NMA once again. The trip was a great introduction to life as an evacuee during World War 2. The children’s outfits were amazing too. We all took part in 2 workshops about rationing and evacuations before heading out into the beautiful grounds for a guided tour of some of the memorials that relate to our class work.

The day finished with an Act of Remembrance in the chapel. We were really moved both by the words shared by some of the children but also because the visit meant we  understood the importance of remembering the service and dedication of the people who lived through this time.

Well done Team 6!

School Games Netball Winners!

SCHOOL GAMES NETBALL 🥇🥈

We kicked off our sporting year with a sunny morning over at the Corbet. It went brilliantly for our netball players, with both of our teams winning all of their games on the way to an all Baschurch final.

In their 14 games, our teams scored a whopping 38 goals between them and conceded only 2.

A massive well done to Team Baschurch.
Our next School Games event is tag rugby on October 22nd!

Voting for our Continent Group leaders

Our ‘house groups’ at Baschurch are each named after a bird, such as the Sparrowhawks.  Each year your child will ‘fly’ to a new continent and learn lots about the people, places and culture of that continent. The continents are made up of children from every year group and today, the children got a chance to vote for the year 6s who would become their continent leader for the year. Our year 6 children prepared a manifesto and delivered it to the group, and then the children voted for two leaders. It was a really difficult decision, as the year 6s had thought so carefully about how they would make each session interesting, engaging and informative. Well done to those who were voted in and thank you to all the year 6s for their hard work.

Hello Yellow – World Mental Health Day

Dear parents and carers,
Our school will be taking part in Hello Yellow on Friday 10th October (World
Mental Health Day) to raise awareness and funds for YoungMinds, the UK’s
leading charity for young people’s mental health.
No young person should feel alone with their mental health and that’s why
Hello Yellow matters. We’re taking this opportunity as a school community to
come together and show our students that we’re with them and they’re never
alone with their mental health.
We’ll be taking part by wearing YELLOW on Friday 10th October.
You can also donate to support our school’s fundraising – YoungMinds – Baschurch CE Primary School

Most importantly, we want to share the resources which YoungMinds offer to
support parents and carers if you ever need help and advice to support your
children. This includes:
• online resources (www.youngminds.org.uk/parent/)
• a phone line, open 9.30am-4pm (0808 802 5544)
• an online chat for parents and carers to speak to trained
professionals if you’re concerned about your children’s mental
health (www.youngminds.org.uk/parents-helpline/)

Our school’s Christian Values

Dear Parents/Carers,

At Baschurch, our Christian values guide and inspire us each day. This half term, we are focusing on the value of Compassion—showing kindness and care towards others, understanding their feelings, and acting with love and empathy in all that we do.

Through our worship, lessons, and daily interactions, we will encourage children to reflect on compassion by:

– Learning from the example of Jesus and other inspiring figures who showed care and love for others.
– Celebrating acts of kindness, empathy, and support within our school community.
– Encouraging children to listen, understand, and respond to the needs and feelings of others.

We invite you to join us in exploring this value at home by discussing the importance of compassion and recognising moments when your child demonstrates it in their daily life. Please see the link below for some helpful ideas of how you can explore this value at home.

Thank you for your continued support in nurturing our school’s Christian ethos.

Compassion – our value of the half term

Compassion is an awareness of others – being able to put yourself in someone else’s shoes to understand how they feel, then taking action to help them.

‘Be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.’ First Epistle of Peter 3:8

FAO Parents/Carers of Year 6 Children

Dear Parent/Carer

Your child is due to transfer to secondary school in September 2026.  The online application process opens on the 1 September 2025 and closes on 31 October 2025.  A letter will be sent home with your child, outlining the process.  Alternatively, please follow this link – Apply to start or transfer school | Shropshire Council  which takes you to the Shropshire Council Admissions website.  Details about secondary school open evenings can be found in the Parents’ Guide to Education in Shropshire booklet, on the same website

Applications received by Shropshire Council after the closing date will be classed as late, which may result in your child being disadvantaged, so please ensure you make your application on-time. Late applications will not be processed until all on-time applications have been offered.

Please note your child’s cohort is larger than in previous years.  You can name up to four schools on your application – we encourage parents to make full use of these preferences.  If only one preference is named, and we cannot offer this, we will have no choice on National Offer Day but to offer a place at the next nearest school with a vacancy, which could be a considerable distance from your home address.

Kind Regards

The School Admissions Team

Fletcher’s Two Peak Challenge

On Saturday 5th July Fletcherwill be setting off on an epic 2 Peak Challenge  to raise funds for new playground equipment. Please use the QR code to find his Just Giving page. 

“I would like to raise money to go towards the school playground as alot of the equipment has recently been removed due to its age and Friends charity is trying to raise funds to replace it.

I have enjoyed my time at Baschurch and playing outside with all my friends and I want to give something back to show my appreciation and allow other children to carry on enjoying what we had.

Please sponsor me, I am doing my hike on Saturday 5th July.”
