From the 8th June to the 16th June, Year 7 pupils will be completing Bikeability. This is an annual event at the academy where pupils have the opportunity to develop their cycling and Highway Code skills.
The Bikeability team is always full of praise for St Edmund’s, and I am in no doubt that the pupils will do themselves proud again this week and next. Mr Selvey
Congratulations to our Year 9 & 10 girls’ basketball team, who have been crowned Wolverhampton 5v5 League Champions following another outstanding performance in their final league fixture against Moreton.
The team dominated from the opening whistle, displaying excellent teamwork, determination, and skill throughout the match. Their strong passing and defensive play helped them build an impressive lead, resulting in a convincing 46–10 victory.

Warinder Juss MP for Wolverhampton West visited St Edmund’s today to personally deliver an Emergency Bleed Control Kit. These first-aid kits are specifically designed to help control severe, life-threatening bleeding caused by incidents such as stabbings or serious accidents until paramedics arrive.
Mrs Hazeldine, Principal, along with Sixth Form economics students Alastair and Thomas, took the opportunity to discuss politics with the MP before he was given a tour of the school.
Thomas, a Sixth Form economics student, said: “It was interesting to meet Warinder Juss MP and hear about his journey to becoming an MP. It was also inspiring to hear how he has faced adversity in his role, and how he has shown the resilience to continue supporting others and carrying out his work.”
Some Year 7 students had an exciting opportunity this week to visit the Houses of Parliament. The trip gave students a firsthand insight into the centre of British democracy, creating an educational and memorable experience for everyone involved.
During the visit, students participated in an interactive workshop and enjoyed a tour of the House of Commons, helping to bring their learning to life.
A fantastic time was had by all.
A special thank you to Mr Boland, Head of Year 7, for providing students with this wonderful opportunity.
In May of this year, students from across the Archdiocese of Birmingham joined staff and volunteers from Father Hudson’s Caritas to present the money they raised for the charity’s Good Shepherd Appeal.
The annual appeal sees children in around 200 Catholic schools raise funds to support the charity’s work. They hold sponsored events, bake sales, odd shoe days or simply collect coins. At the end of the appeal, the charity, supported by schools and parishes, holds Good Shepherd Masses across the Archdiocese. The Masses enable the schools to come together as one to worship and present their donations. It also offers an opportunity for Father Hudson’s Caritas to thank the schools for continuing to support the century-old appeal. This year, 11 of our lower school chaplaincy team, Miss Shipley and Rev, made the short journey to the beautiful church of St Mary, the Mount in Walsall, where Mass was celebrated by Bishop Timothy Menezes. In his homily, Bishop Tim encouraged all present to see themselves as “good shepherds” in so many areas of our lives.
As usual, St Ed’s students represented the academy, their families, and themselves absolutely wonderfully by their participation in the Mass. Thank you all for making it a beautifully prayerful morning.

A moving Blessing of Hands Mass has taken place at St Chad’s Cathedral, Birmingham, in preparation for next week’s Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes.
Yesterday, Sunday 17 May, hundreds of people attended the Diocesan Mother Church to have their hands blessed for whatever ministry they may be involved in.
Various groups were represented and will be joining children and young adults from our schools, parishes and youth groups, to serve in Lourdes during the half-term holiday.
The annual Diocesan Pilgrimage runs from Monday 25 to Saturday 30 May, under the leadership of His Grace, Archbishop Bernard Longley and Bishops David Evans, Timothy Menezes and Richard Walker.
Around 600 pilgrims are set to travel on the Diocesan Pilgrimage. St Edmund’s will once again be part of this beautiful pilgrimage with four of our year 12 students and three staff making the journey to work with the assisted pilgrims. Please pray for us as we make the journey to the south of France and for the work we will be involved in while there. And we will pray for you!
