Sports Day 2026 was definitely a warm one but also a memorable one.  The event was filled with energy, enthusiasm, and school spirit.

In addition to the competitive events, there were fun activities such as sack races and tug-of-war, and a water balloon toss which helped those who got wet cool down!

Well done to all the winners and those who took part, the true success of the day was the teamwork, sportsmanship, and Malbank Spirit shown by everyone. Roll on next year.

This week Malbank held our annual Summer school production, showcasing the outstanding talent, creativity, and teamwork of our students. From the moment the curtain rose until the final applause, the audience thoroughly enjoyed a performance that highlighted the commitment, dedication and talent of everyone involved.

The cast delivered outstanding performances, with students bringing their characters to life through confident, expressive, and engaging performances. The singers impressed with their powerful vocals, blending beautifully in both solo and ensemble numbers, while the dancers added energy,  and excitement  with  polished choreography.

The live band deserves special recognition for providing musical accompaniment throughout the show. 

The show  reflected the hard work of the students, staff, and backstage crew. 

The highlight was the spirit of collaboration and teamwork. Singers, dancers, actors, musicians, and the technical team combined their talents to produce a truly memorable evening of entertainment. The enthusiasm, commitment, and passion for the performing arts were evident in every aspect of the show.

This was a production of the highest standard and a credit to the entire school community. Everyone involved should be immensely proud of what they achieved. It was an inspiring, uplifting, and thoroughly entertaining performance that will be remembered for a long time. Well done to all involved. 

On Friday 3rd July Malbank held their first Colour Run event raising money for Chance Changing Lives Charity. The sun was shining, there were lots of smiles, lots of money was raised for a great cause and everyone involved had a great time. 

On 25th June, our Year 11 class of 2026 got together to celebrate. Their prom was held on a very warm evening in Wychwood Park and our students had a great time. We wish you all a wonderful Summer, all the best with your exam results and whatever your next chapter holds for you. 

On 15th July we are holding Malbank Sports Awards. Every student who has represented the school in sports this year will be invited, will receive a certificate and have a team photo on stage with Mickey. We also have 18 awards that will be presented on the night. It would be great to see as many as possible there to celebrate the fabtastic sporting achievements of our students.

Firstly, we are incredibly proud of everyone involved this evening. Reaching Finals Night with three teams is a fantastic achievement and a real testament to the hard work, commitment, and dedication shown throughout the season.

What a night it was.

The Year 7 Boys started the evening in outstanding fashion with a superb 2–1 victory over Congleton to become Cheshire Champions. Noah scored both goals in a brilliant team performance.

The Year 8 boys were heartbreakingly denied after leading 2–1 with only minutes remaining. Congleton managed to equalise before scoring the winner straight from the restart. The boys gave everything and worked incredibly hard to put themselves in a winning position, making the result even tougher to take. Our goals were scored by Nathan and George D.

Finally, the Year 9 Boys were beaten 4–1 by a very strong Shavington side, with Evan scoring our consolation goal.

A huge thank you to all the parents who came along to support the teams, and to Mr Kilalee, Mr Lloyd, Mr Allcroft, and Mrs Kirk-Bradshaw for managing the sides throughout the evening.

We go again next season.
