Ruyton School featured in Shropshire Star and on line

Dear Blogger

Shropshire Star - Love Your School - Ruyton XI Towns St.John the Baptist Primary School https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/education/2025/09/29/we-learn-all-about-a-shropshire-school-planted-firmly-in-the-heart-of-its-village/

Yesterday, Monday 29th September, Our School had a big write up in the Shropshire Star and ShS on line

Headline - School planted firmly in the heart of Village Community

It seems there are two acting head teachers, Kate Gregory and Katie Farmer, and the school is described as                              Modest in size but carries a big reputatyion for warmth, inclusivity, and dedication to its pupils` growth - academically, emotionally and socially.

The article mentions the Forest School, a quiet area and a `trim trail`?

A nice picture of the netball team jumping for joy in their bright damson coloured tops - I wonder if the children know about the importance of the damson crop to the village in times past.

It was lovely to read lots of things I did not know about our village school.

Best wishes to St. John the Baptist School
