Bikeability at St Edmund’s has been a huge success again.
Year 7 students developed their bike handling and safety skills from Monday 13th June to Tuesday 21st June in partnership with the wonderful team from Wolverhampton City Council, many thanks to them!
Students from all tutors had the opportunity to take part and develop some new skills (and enjoy the sunshine of last week!). Plenty of certificates and badges were handed out and all feedback was positive.
St Edmund’s is proud to announce the success of the Year 10 mock interviews which took place on the 8th June 2022.
Students were subjected to a ten minute interview from one of the thirteen employers who kindly came into the school, followed by a five minute feedback session.
The year 10 students absolutely loved it and felt that the event had helped them considerably. Whether this was maintaining good eye contact, shaking an employer’s hand firmly or just presenting themselves appropriately, they gained huge amounts from the experience.
A massive thank you to Carol Codner (Enterprise Advisor) for arranging the event and to all the employers who gave up their time and expertise to help our students!
Richard Morris, Assistant Principal: Director of Mathematics, is a long-standing member of staff here at St Edmund’s.
He is an enthusiastic cyclist who enjoys fairly long regular weekend rides with friends, however, he is about to embark on his biggest challenge so far by taking part in the Annual Aberdovey Bike Ride on 17th June.
Richard hopes, with your generous and kind support, to raise funds for Compton Care, The Good Shepherd, Cancer Research and CAFOD.
We are delighted to announce St Edmund’s Catholic Academy was selected to take part in the Wolverhampton Community Commonwealth Baton Relay today to celebrate the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
A group of students, who have shown excellent commitment to PE and sport, were chosen to be the Baton Relay Team.
The team made a guard of honour as the baton was received from The Kings School then gathered in the Peace Garden to watch the baton be blessed by Monsignor Mark Crisp.
Following the baton being taken on a tour of the academy students departed St Edmund’s to hand the baton to Christchurch Infant & Nursery School, Tettenhall.
Congratulations to the Baton Relay Team:
Amelia Beet, Lysia Bayley, Kayliah Henry, Tori Chambers Brown, Megan Grove, Simran Sohi, Ellie Clews, Autumn Marchant, Kylah Johnson, Arthur Stuttard, Jonah Byrne, Frankie Lewis-Black, Mahdi Asaney, Rocco Di Gianvittorio, Tino Makombe, George Darling, Jack Barrowman, Niket Kumar, Chukwudi Ojeli Ezike and Mercedes Baczynska
Thank you to Mrs Cartlidge (Curriculum Leader PE) and Mr Taylor (Teacher of PE) for organising this wonderful historic event.
Mental Health Awareness Week is the UK’s national week to raise awareness of mental health and mental health problems.
The international Mental Health Awareness Week colour is green. This means that students had the opportunity to wear a green ribbon or clothing in support of the event. By wearing the colour green, they are showing others that you care about mental health awareness.
The sixth formers wore green to promote good mental health across the school.
It is important to raise awareness of mental health, to ensure that all students advocate mental health awareness.

The Duke of Edinburgh day walk was a great success!
Students spent Saturday 7th May walking around the Kinver area following a route they had pre planned. While walking students were learning how to use a map and a compass and navigate accurately.
After 25000 steps, 16km distance covered and 6 hours of walking, all 41 students finished their day.
The Magistrates’ Mock Trial Competition gives KS3 students the opportunity to act out court cases in competition with students from other schools. Having spent the last few months tirelessly preparing their cases, our group of Year 8 students took on roles as lawyers, witnesses, legal advisors, ushers, magistrates and court reporters – each of these roles challenging in their own way.
Although a little nervous when the competition began, our students rose to the challenge wonderfully and both our Prosecution and Defence teams won their cases in their respective trials. The teams were truly victorious and received wonderful comments from both the professional judges and the organisers of the event.
Our Sixth Form is thriving. Many students have secured some amazing opportunites and achieved wonderful grades. Check out the presentation to find out more:
