Good evening,
Linked to the Longnor Flower Festival, we have had a whole-school art project in school inspired by the church.
We have had a range of different pieces inspired by our beautiful church building to create a range of artistic pieces. Our younger students, in Little Owls and Kestrels, have been sketching St Mary’s church and have enjoyed using watercolours. Kestrels really enjoyed exploring the church in detail and using their photography skills to capture the wonderful elements of this historic building.
Our older students have thought about children who may have visited the church through history. Merlins have looked at historic school records and have incorporated pages from the 1800s into their sketches of St Mary’s church. Eagle class have looked in detail at the children who were evacuated during WW2 to Longnor and attended Longnor CE Primary school. They have created some abstract pieces of art incorporating the names of some of the evacuees.
Our art will be displayed in the church this weekend.
Congratulations to those recognised in our achievement assembly this week:

Well done to all!
Ms Mullock has some exciting news too! She is missing Longnor deeply, but she has decided that she would like to extend her secondment placement at Newcastle-Upon-Clun primary school until August 2026 (the full academic year). She has some projects that she would like to continue and has found that a term isn’t quite long enough. We will miss Ms Mullock, but we wish her the best of luck and know that we’ll hear lots from her over the year.
Therefore, we will be appointing a teacher for the year to teach Kestrels. We hope that Kestrel class will help us make the decision and take part in the interview process. We will keep you updated as soon as we know further information.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Mrs L. Edgerton
