Restoring Nature at Smestow Valley!

Here are some highlights from the second and final day of our incredible pond restoration project with Eco Club, Severn Trent, and Friends of Smestow Valley!

Today, our hardworking team tackled overgrown brambles and vegetation that were blocking the bridge, clearing the way for much-needed repairs. We also collected a significant amount of litter, making the area safer and more welcoming for wildlife.

As a special science bonus, our pupils had the chance to test water quality using Severn Trent’s equipment—great news: no pollution was detected! With the area now cleared, we’re hopeful that wildlife will flourish. Later this year, we plan to involve pupils in further water quality testing and wildlife surveys with guidance from expert ecologists.

A huge thank you to Severn Trent, the James Beattie Charitable Trust, and Councillor Nasim for their generous support, which will allow us to repair the bridge and continue improving this fantastic habitat.

Stay tuned for more updates on our conservation efforts!

To celebrate British Science Week, St Edmund’s hosted a thrilling science quiz for Year 7 students! Teams from secondary schools across Wolverhampton came together to compete in this fun and educational event, which included a lively picture round.

Now in its second year, the quiz was filled with enthusiasm, curiosity, and friendly competition as students showcased their scientific knowledge. ✨

A big thank you to all the participants for making the event so enjoyable. The afternoon was not only a challenge but also a chance to make new friends and appreciate the wonders of science!

Hold onto your helmets, folks! Our Year 7 students just launched themselves into a whirlwind of career possibilities, and the results were absolutely stellar! This National Careers Week, we didn’t just talk about jobs – we became them!

Imagine a school buzzing with astronauts, navigating the corridors with intergalactic determination. Picture doctors, ready to diagnose and cure, and chefs, whipping up dreams of culinary mastery. And yes, even mime artists graced us with their silent, captivating performances!

Forget your textbooks for a day, because Year 7 transformed our school into a living, breathing career fair! We saw the future in their eyes, a future filled with passion, creativity, and boundless potential.

From the depths of the ocean with marine biologists to the heights of the stage with musicians, our students showcased an incredible range of ambitions. Every costume told a story, every student embodied a dream.

This wasn’t just a dress-up day, it was an explosion of inspiration! We witnessed the power of imagination, the spark of curiosity, and the sheer joy of exploring the world of work.

Check out the incredible photos to witness the magic!

We’re so proud of our Year 7 students for their enthusiasm and creativity. They’ve shown us that the future is bright, and they are ready to seize it!

On World Book Day, St Edmunds celebrated the magic of reading with a fun-filled day of literary-themed activities. The staff and students came together to celebrate their favorite characters and the joy of books.

Our teachers truly embraced the spirit of the day by dressing up as iconic characters. Ms. Alsop wowed everyone by dressing as Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games, ready to take on the Mockingjay’s challenge. Miss Ridley and Miss Stokes were unmissable as they transformed into Where’s Wally characters, bringing a playful twist to the day. And, not to be outdone, Mr. Langford entered the festivities as a mighty dragon, perhaps inspired by the fantasy tales that have captured our imaginations for generations.

World Book Day is always a great reminder of how stories can bring us together, ignite our imaginations, and inspire us to read more. It was a fantastic celebration, and we can’t wait to see how we top it next year!
