Our Year 7 students recently participated in the Jack Petchey Talk About Transition workshop, designed to support students as they develop confidence, communication skills, and strategies for managing the move into secondary school.
The session focused on building resilience, fostering ...positive relationships, and encouraging students to express themselves effectively.
Student feedback included:
“The workshop helped me feel more assured when speaking in front of others.”
“I learned useful ways to stay positive during new challenges.”
“It was reassuring to know that many students share similar worries.”
We are grateful to the @jackpetcheyfoundation for providing such a valuable opportunity for our students’ personal development.

Advent marks the beginning of the Church’s liturgical year.
On the first Sunday of Advent, we pause to reflect and begin our spiritual journey. We light the first purple candle, the Candle of Hope, reminding us of the hope the prophets held for the coming of the Messiah. 🕯️
... Wishing you a blessed Advent. ✝️

During November, the Catholic Church especially remembers and prays for all the faithful departed. 🙏
In our community, staff, parents, and carers have shared the names of their loved ones who have died. These names have been placed on the altar, where they will be held in prayer during ...every Mass throughout this month.
We unite our hearts in faith and hope, entrusting them to God’s loving mercy: “Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Our School Council members enjoyed an insightful and captivating tour of the Palace of Westminster, including the House of Commons Chamber and learned much about the history and intrigue of the Parliamentary estate in the process.
To round off the day, students took part in the Power of ...Petitions workshop, gaining a strong understanding of how to participate in the work of Parliament by creating their own petitions.
Year 10 student Jayden reflected on the experience, saying, “I now realise the extent to which petitions influence our democracy, and that by engaging with them, we as young people can help bring about meaningful change even before we are eligible to vote. It was a surprise to learn that we are able to create or sign a petition that asks for a change to the law or government policy! After 10,000 signatures, petitions get a response from the government, and after 100,000 signatures, petitions are considered for debate in Parliament.”
We extend our sincere thanks to the UK Parliament Education Centre for organising such a fantastic day and for making us feel so welcome. @ukhouseofcommons @ukhouseoflords
