Dundee FC player returns to Ruyton

We were incredibly lucky today as Dundee Football Club goal keeper, Callum Ferrie, visited us and spoke to children about his career in football so far. Callum, 19, used to attend St John’s as a child and began his football career on our pitches and as a part of Ruyton School Football team!

He spoke to the children about the challenges and setbacks he has faced, plus the work ethic of footballers and the values that he has had to show to achieve what he has done today. Callum was an inspiration – the children were amazed that he had been told he wasn’t good enough by two big clubs but still persevered to achieve his dream. Also, they were fascinated to hear that he has studied sports psychology whilst working towards his next goals in his career. Thank you so much Callum; we will be cheering you on all the way!

Charlie P: “He taught me not to give up, even when people told him he wasn’t good enough he kept trying.”

Harvey: “If someone tells you you can’t do something, try and try again.”

Jamie: “no matter if you go through lots of stages and people say no, if you really want something you can word hard to get it.”

Miles of smiles in pyjamas!

A huge thank you to our Friends this morning who organised a fantastic sponsored Breakfast Fun Run in Pyjamas to raise money for sports equipment. Many families joined us for a sausage bap, whilst all the children enjoyed a well-earned yoghurt after their run, kindly donated by Carol Aspinall on behalf of Muller yoghurts. What a treat!

We would like to say a big thank you to Carol, Steve, Deejay, Laura, Alison and Liz who made this event happen so successfully – what a great way to end half term. Watch this space to see how much money has been raised…

Year 4 visit Lichfield Cathedral with a ‘Moon Landings’ theme

Our Year 4 children had a fantastic day at Lichfield Cathedral on Tuesday where they participated in a variety of activities with children from other schools as part of an ‘Inspire’ project by the Diocese. The day centred around the 50 year anniversary of the moon landings with children learning about the science of sound, the moon landings and also considering issues such as flooding – testing their teamwork and understanding of survival.

Isle of Man TT Sidecar racers visit school!

We are still buzzing with excitement today after a special visit from Steve and Kevin Morgan with their sidecar which they are competing in over the next week at the famous Isle of Man TT!

The children (and staff!) were excited to see the sidecar up close, hear its engine and ask their questions to Steve and Kevin who are both from Ruyton and are competing in this race for the first time.

A huge thank you to Steve, Kevin and our school governor Simon Gittins for making this visit happen and giving our children a brilliant opportunity. Good luck to Team Morgan; we will be following you and cheering you on!
