The City of Wolverhampton Council would like to invite city schools to attend the Schools’ Poppy Remembrance Event on Friday 9 November 2018, from approximately 10am – noon. This will commemorate 100 years since the end of the First World War and recognise soldiers who died but do not feature on formal rolls of honour. |
21 – 25 May 2018 is #WalkToSchool week.
This year let’s make it the biggest yet and get as many of the city’s schools as possible signed up to support this national campaign. Visit livingsteets.org.uk and pledge your support, you can also pick up hints and tips to use during the campaign!
After all their hard work preparing for their GCSE Art, year 11 students decided to mark their last lesson in style with a tea party. Lots of cups of tea and cream cakes were enjoyed before continuing with their revision feeling re-energized.
During this time Miss Mifflin took the opportunity to praise students for their hard work over the last two year and wished them every success for the future.
Well done 11 BAr1.
Tomorrow, Thursday 10th May we celebrate the Solemnity of the Ascension of Lord ; as we celebrate this beautiful Feast, we remember the promise and invitation of the Lord, the promise is the Gift of the Holy Spirit, the invitation was to return to Jerusalem and await this promised gift. The Church invites us to wait and pray, may we do so with Pope John XXlll’s ‘lnvocation’ Prayer:
‘Renew Your wonders in this our day,
as by a new Pentecost.
Grant to Your Church that,
Being of one mind and steadfast in prayer with Mary,
the Mother of Jesus, and following the
lead of blessed Peter,
it may advance the reign of our Divine Saviour,
the reign of truth
and justice, the reign of love and peace.
On Thursday 19 April, fourteen Debate Mate students were lucky enough to travel to the University of Birmingham to compete in the Debate Mate Cup. The university buildings shone in glorious sunshine and our debaters were a little awestruck at the size of the campus. Wonder aside, their concentration was not lost and they set their sights on preparing their speeches.
A challenging prepared motion on the United Nations Council showed an outstanding understanding of the world they live in. Our teams then got to work on two unprepared motions and impressed the judges so much they attained some of the highest scores ever awarded. The competition also included a show debate, led by Debate Mate staff, which gave our students many ideas. An intense and public final debate gave our students further insight into effective debating skills that they are keen to try out in the future.
The competition was a thoroughly enjoyable experience for students and staff alike and our Debate Mate students are looking forward to participating in some of their own show debates very soon.
25 Sixth Form students braved the elements on the night of Friday 16 March. Their aim – to sleep in makeshift cardboard accommodation in the grounds of St Edmund’s – to experience what sleeping rough is like for a homeless person. The weather could not have been worse – driving rain, sleet and really cold conditions but students did us proud, keeping cheerful and determined despite it all! At one point Mr McArdle, Head of Year 11, one of the supervisors of the event, was found asleep having rolled down a slope in his blankets in the middle of the courtyard!!!
Students raised the amazing sum of £872.75 for their efforts for the YMCA Homeless charity. Every penny donated was well earned by those who slept out on such an awful night.
Grateful thanks to our students, Mr McArdle and Mr Tolley

WOLVES CAPTAIN KICK-STARTS SEARCH FOR WOLVERHAMPTON YOUNG CITIZEN OF THE YEAR 2018 – THERE’S STILL TIME TO VOTE!
Wolverhampton Wanderers Team Captain, Conor Coady, has kick-started this year’s bid to find the city’s Young Citizen of the Year.
This year’s awards were officially launched at Wolves’ training ground along with the Deputy Mayor, councillors, judges and former winners.
Conor Coady said: “I am delighted to support these awards which recognises and celebrates young people who go the extra mile to help others.”
Organised by the city’s five Rotary clubs, in partnership with the City Council, Express & Star, Wolves, Waitrose and The Way Youth Zone, the awards are now in their fifth year. They recognise youngsters aged 14-19 who have made a significant contribution to the city and celebrate their achievements.
Anyone can nominate a young person who lives, goes to school or works within the borough of Wolverhampton.
For more details about the award, plus entry forms, visit www.wolverhamptonyoungcitizen.
Nomination forms are also available from the Civic Centre and Waitrose on the Penn Road and entries are open until the end of May.
Senior Lunchtime Supervisor, Pupil Visits Supervisor, Learning Support Assistant, Supervisory Assistant, Exam Invigilator, Clerical/Administrative/Reprographics Support! These are some of the posts held by long-serving member of staff, Mary Truelove, who said farewell to St Edmund’s Catholic Academy on Friday 20 April.
During her employment over the last 13 years Mary has been an invaluable member of the support staff team, supporting where and when necessary. Well known and well loved by both staff and students alike, Mary’s most recent role as Senior Lunchtime Supervisor saw her in charge of staff and students in the Dining Room, enabling a slick, calm and efficient lunchtime service during St Edmund’s two 25 minute lunch periods each day.
Mary will be moving to a position closer to home but will be continuing with her role as Exam Invigilator as the exam season approaches. We wish her every success for the future. She will be truly missed!
An afternoon tea farewell celebration took place on Friday afternoon.
