By S Huynh24th November 2015

We would like to say a huge thank you to all the students and staff who contributed to the Christmas Shoe Box Appeal.

The Shoe Box Appeal is a campaign organised by the Samaritan’s Purse who kindly collect shoe boxes with gifts and donate them to underprivileged children around the world.

St Edmund’s delivered 20 boxes in total, which were all hand wrapped by students and staff and packed with lovely gifts, such as; toys, pens, soaps, gloves and more – they have helped make someone’s Christmas special this year.

Children In Need

By S Huynh19th November 2015

Last week Pudsey bear made a special visit to St Edmund’s Catholic Academy in aid of raising money for Children In Need. Sixth Form students sold wrist bands, somosa’s and undertook a special staff Vs. students football tournament all for charity.

We’d like to thank everyone who took part during last week’s fundraising activities and especially the Sixth Form students who helped organise such an eventful week.

We will keep you posted as to how much we have raised!
