On Saturday 5th November many of the students from St Edmund’s took part in the Wolverhampton and Dudley 5 A Side Tournament organised by Kenelm Trust. It was held at St Edmund’s  in the Kristian Thomas Sports Centre.
Vicki Chatten, Youth Ministry Development Worker from Birmingham Catholic Youth Service, sent certificates  for all our students and said, ‘ The boys are a credit to you’.
Well done to all the students who took part.

On Friday 11th November the whole school respectfully attended a Remembrance Assembly led by the Performing Arts Department.
It was very informative as we looked at peopleâs lives from the arts and entertainment world who took part in the wars, such as Wladyslaw Szpilman who wrote the Pianist, Audrey Hepburn, Roald Dahl, Wilfred Owen and Many more.
We listened to a piece of music by Chopin played by Alex Dongo, Jessica Bradley performed contemporary Dance to âIn Flanders Fieldâ by Howard Goodall and we all joined in a song called No Manâs Land by Eric Bogle.
Many staff and students found it very moving when the words and music of âDo Not stand at my Grave and Weepâ was played.
Mr Lloyd played the last post during the assembly and at 11 0âclock where the whole community stood silently, wherever they were in school for 2 minutes.
We will remember them.
There are new publications in the Library including:
Thirteen Chairs: Twelve mysterious stories waiting to begin
What a great night and a good turn out! Â 75 year 7 students came along to the Year 7 Welcome Disco held on Wednesday 9 November to âthrow some shapesâ on the dance floor and generally have fun! Â Sixth Formers, Simranjeet Singh and Kishan Dass provided the music and did a wonderful job, with staff, to support the event. Â Glow sticks, refreshments and sweets were available from the Tuck Shop. Â ÂŁ60 was raised during the evening which will be put towards the Senior Citizensâ Christmas Party in December.

Scotland 1915. A group of teenagers from two families meet for a picnic, but the war across the Channel is soon to tear them away from such youthful pleasures. All too soon, the horror of what is to become known as The Great War engulfs them, their friends and the whole village. From the horror of the trenches, to the devastating reality seen daily by those nursing the wounded, they struggle to survive – and nothing will ever be the same again.
