Merry Christmas from Maple Hayes

It has been a busy Christmas build-up at Maple Hayes, with lots to celebrate as we enter the festive season.

Year 11 mock exams and a new Head Boy

We would like to congratulate our Year 11 pupils for recently completing their mock examinations. Working so hard in the run up to the Christmas holidays will pay off in the near future!

Congratulations are also in order for Year 11 pupil Ben Owen, who has been promoted to Head Boy. 

Ben continues to be a credit to the school and can be very proud of his achievements.

Festive theatre 

Year 10 pupils and staff had a great time at the Lichfield Garrick Theatre, enjoying a performance of Cinderella for our annual Christmas pantomime trip. 

This is a wonderful Maple Hayes Christmas tradition and is enjoyed by both pupils and staff.

We also welcomed parents of Key Stage 2 and Year 7 pupils to watch our Christmas production of Peter Pan followed by drinks and mince pies in the school hall.

Our performers put on a fantastic display after working very hard since September with some pupils learning up to 100 lines! 

A special thanks goes to the staff who have also put in the hard work to make this show a success.

Whole School House Cross Country Competition

As always at the end of the autumn term we finish with the Whole School House Cross Country Competition. 

This year the pupils braved difficult wet and cold conditions, all showing a great attitude, determination and effort to win points for their house.

It was a very close competition and for the first time in a long time Shannon House ran out the Maple Hayes 2019 Cross Country champions. 

House captain Sophia Zaman was the proud recipient of the Cross-Country House Shield for this year.

The winners for each race were:

Junior race: Codey Longmore

Year 7 boys: Monty Gambrell

Year 8 boys: Edward Gray

Year 9 boys: Jacob Blakemore

Year 10 boys: Jacob Green

Year 11 boys: Will Robinson

Year 7 - 11 girls: Sophia Zaman

Trips and Treats

Mrs Rhodes and Mrs Veszpremi took 15 junior pupils to go bowling in Stafford as part of our Reading Reward Scheme. 

Those who took part made time to read at home every day to help improve literacy and reading skills - well done to everyone who have made such an effort with this.

On the last day of term, the whole school enjoyed a wonderfully festive Christmas Lunch in the school hall followed by a speech from our Head Pupils.

We would like to wish all our pupils and their families a very Merry Christmas and the very best for 2020.
