Sue Chubb, who worked at Shapwick School since the mid-1980s, passed peacefully away at home on the 7th May 2009. All pupils and staff at the specialist school for dyslexia were very saddened by the loss of such a popular and respected member of staff, and a special Thanksgiving Service was recently organised in St Mary’s Church, Shapwick to allow everyone to pay their last respects. 

On Saturday 13th June Shapwick School pupils enjoyed ‘all the fun of the fair’ when they joined in the Shapwick village fete. The sun shone and everyone had a great time with the local community. 

Shapwick School Art Day is a totally unique event and one greatly enjoyed by the pupils, staff, and guests. Now in its tenth year, over twelve professional artists are already looking forward to taking part on Wednesday 8th July.

The Therapy Team at Shapwick School has worked in partnership with the University College Plymouth St Mark and St John (MARJON) since 2006, and its links with the University are going from strength to strength. 

Year 9 pupils from Shapwick School recently enjoyed a workshop led by The Somerset Waste Action Programme (SWAP) about composting.
