Welcome to the 7th edition of our cross-Trust newsletter.
It’s been another busy few weeks across the Trust with everyone stepping up to ongoing challenges and achieving some wonderful things.
This edition highlights just some of the fantastic achievements and things that we’ve been getting up to.
On behalf of Wickersley Partnership Trust, we wish you a fantastic holiday and a Happy New Year – and as always, thank you for your continued support.
Some of the unsung heroes of Christmas are Delivery Drivers. They often work long hours and often have tight schedules…
This term we held our third annual Christmas card competition, and today we are delighted to announce the winners.
The competition this year was incredibly tough – we had close to a thousand entries across six categories, and the quality of entries was simply stunning.
After much discussion and deliberation, eight winners were chosen. The winners were informed today and each received a festive prize package that included a supply of their winning Christmas card, a chocolate treat and an Amazon gift voucher.

Foljambe student, Kourtney, has recently shaved all of her hair off to raise money for her best friend – who is undergoing cancer treatment – to cover the hard times that the family have gone through recently, and to show her friend that she is not alone in fighting this battle.
She has raised over £1500!
Kourtney said: “I feel proud and so does by best friend.”
Well done, Kourtney – a truly amazing thing to do!
Yesterday, 120 children from 12 schools attended the Rotherham School Games U11 Hockey Tournament held at Rotherham Hockey Club.
Schools battled it out in two groups of six for a place in the semi final place in the afternoon. After a great morning of fixtures, Listerdale won group A and were joined in the semi finals by Thorogate. In group B, Aston Fence came out on top with Woodsetts finishing second, narrowly beating St Gerard’s on goal difference.
The semi finals were both extremely close matches with Listerdale beating Woodsetts and Aston Fence beating Thorogate to make it to the final.
In a repeat of last weeks final, scores were tied at 1-1 after golden goal extra time. This meant for the second week running the event would be decided with a penalty shuffle. After a tense match, Listerdale were eventually crowned Rotherham champions with Aston Fence as runners up. Both teams did their schools proud and will represent Rotherham at the South Yorkshire finals next year.
Mr Sutherill, School Games Organiser, said: “It was great to see so many children attending another School Games event. Every child who attended left with a smile on their face and was a credit to their individual school.
