First Sunday of Advent

27th November 2022Mrs D Curtis

Today is the First Sunday of Advent and the start of a four-week observation which always begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas. It represents Isaiah and other prophets in the Bible that predicted the coming of Jesus.

The second Sunday of Advent represents the Bible. The third represents Mary, the mother of Jesus. The fourth represents John the Baptist, Jesus’ cousin, who told the people in Israel to get ready for Jesus’ teaching.

St Edmund’s Awarded Anti Bullying Charter

We are proud and delighted to be awarded with the Anti Bullying status.
The awards, which are given to schools and youth organisations who demonstrate their commitment to preventing and dealing with bullying among young people, were presented at Molineux Stadium last week.

 

To achieve charter status, schools and youth organisations must submit evidence and policies to support their application based on 5 statements in the charter.

 

  • Having clear policies: Discussing, monitoring and reviewing anti-bullying policies on a regular basis
  • Take action: Support staff to identify and tackle bullying appropriately
  • Tell: Ensure that pupils are aware that all bullying concerns will be dealt with sensitively and effectively
  • Take action: Report back quickly to parents/carers regarding their concerns on bullying
  • Understand: Seek to learn from anti-bullying good practise elsewhere and utilise the support of City of Wolverhampton Council when appropriate

 

Sixth Form students, Shadi and Kyle, enjoyed a tour of the stadium, dinner and the award ceremony.

 

Year 10 Dodgeball Champions

18th November 2022Mrs D Curtis
Congratulations to Year 10 girls who won the City Schools Dodgeball Championships this week.
Unbeaten throughout the whole tournament the girls went into the final against OLSC school. OLSC won the first round with some great catches however St Edmunds fought back and after some powerful throws equalised. We had to win the final round and we did so in style – excellent team work and throwing skills removed the opposition, one by one off the court, resulting in Year 10 girls becoming city champions.
The team will now represent Wolverhampton in the Black Country Games finals in July.
Well done everyone, a fantastic achievement.
Players:- Grace O’Shea-Hamilton, Emily Tsang, Autumn Marchant, Maria Aliamo, Gabby Rhodes, Karyce Johnson, Megan Morgan and Remaiya Parish.
