On Wednesday 20th December, Mr Taylor hosted the Year 9 rewards assembly.
There were prizes galore as the fantastic pupils of Year 9 were recognised, and their efforts were rewarded.
Lots of pupils in this year group have done exceptionally well since October half term and their certificates, chocolates and vouchers were well deserved.
A huge well done to all pupils involved and the fantastic work that has been done by the Year 9 team.
Well done all!
Today our Year 11 students got to experience the feeling of GCSE results day as they got their mock results.
This experience allowed them to understand the anticipation that comes with receiving exam results. It also helped them to understand why revision and mock exams are important preparation for their GCSE exams.
Well done Year 11 on your mock results!
A Christmas message from the parish team of Blessed Carlo Acutis.

Chloe, a current year 8 student, is training with the national swimming development squad at the Royal Wolverhampton School swimming club.
She competes all over England and has achieved qualifying times for the Staffordshire county championships in multiple events over the last few years.
Last season, she won a medal in the 400m freestyle and made the final of the West Midlands regional championship in the 50m freestyle.
She was also selected to swim for Staffordshire in July at an inter county championship.
Chloe had the opportunity to take part in the Welsh national winter championships last weekend.
Congratulations to Chloe on all your achievements so far, we look forward to celebrating more of your successes in the future.
On Thursday, Loyola Academy students took part in the annual #GCHQChristmasChallenge.
Students were set the task of cracking seven fiendish puzzles and using the answers to help uncover a hidden festive message!
Students had to work together in teams and utilise their different strengths to solve the puzzles.
Congratulations to students in years 8, 9 and 11 who fully completed the challenge and solved the final code.
You can have a go at home too; the challenge is available for anyone to download on the GCHQ website now.
Some top tips for parents on how to avoid online hazards and reduce risks for children.
Students in Year 8 Geography have been given the opportunity to write prayers for migrants all over the world at the end of their unit on population.
They visited our Chapel where Reverend McKearney discussed how everyone involved in the nativity would be classed as refugees in today’s society.
Reverend McKearney reminded us all about showing every migrant compassion and how our CARE values should be part of our everyday lives.
It was wonderful to see our students so engaged in such a topical issue as part of their journey to become global citizens.
Students from Year 10 and 11 were exposed to careers with guest speakers from The Royal Navy and an Architect.
The skills and qualifications for these career pathways were discussed, as well as what these careers entailed. Presentations were wrapped up with questions asked by the students who were interested in these fields of work.
Letty (Y11) said, “the assembly went well. I really enjoyed having different points of view in the workplace from different jobs. This helped me to think hard about my career when I leave school and gives me a better idea of what I want to do.”
Sophie (Y11) said, “Inspiring and enlightening to hear different aspects of these careers. It breaks down the stereotypical barriers around these kinds of jobs.”
“As I am aspiring to be an architect, it was really useful. I learnt a lot about different types of roles and how to get there,” Natalia (Y10) said.
