  • #LetGirlsPlay

    Published 13/03/24

    On Friday 8th March - International Women's Day - we had a very exciting day in school!

    As part of #LetGirlsPlay (an FA initiative), the girls were given coaching by some students from Godalming College who are PE students and football players themselves.

    The coaching was brilliant and the girls learnt some great new skills. Many of them commented that they enjoyed the session so much that they now wish to join a football club.

    Huge thanks to Godalming College and the girls who all participated so enthusiastically.

  • Year 5 attend HHH Classical Concerts

    Published 07/11/23

    During October, our Year 5 classes went to two HHH Concerts at St Christopher's Church, Haslemere, to appreciate Classical Musicians perform to the highest possible standard.  Children found the experience fascinating and enjoyable, with some saying the music was relaxing and made them feel calm and able to focus.  Some children also found that the concerts helped them to feel inspired to develop their own musicianship and instrument playing outside of school.  We would like to extend our thanks to HHH concerts for funding this opportunity and inviting us along.

  • Haslemere Hens!

    Published 20/06/22

    The children at Shottermill Junior School were delighted to be asked to design and paint a hen for Haslemere Hens 2022.

    It was decided by our Arts Council that the design process should be set as a competition. With over 70 designs submitted by the children of SJS, these were then narrowed down to the Top 20. Voting was undertaken by the whole school and DolpHen was the unanimous winner. 

    Designed by Daniel Brewer in Year 6. He based his design on his love of the ocean and dolphins; he also considered a design he felt the children could recreate themselves.

    DolpHen was painted by Daniel and the members of the Arts Council during their lunch breaks. This was a collaborative pupil lead project that the children rightly feel very proud of.er an introduction for your news story here.
