Our school was truly blessed yesterday to welcome Franciscan brothers @caseyofm, @frayjayofm , @titos_friar_feed, and Fr Yusuf Bagh ✝️
They spoke with students across different year groups about life as Franciscan brothers, the importance of being joyful witnesses of the Catholic ...faith, and showing respect, kindness, and love for others in our daily lives.
The brothers also joined us in celebrating Holy Mass at St Anthony of Padua Church, a beautiful moment of prayer and thanksgiving for our school community. We are grateful for their time and the inspiration they shared with our students.
Quotes from students:
- “Great opportunity for students to be inspired by people committed to the Religious Life. They provided excellent insight into what it’s like to be a friar.”
- “Seeing them in their brown robes and sandals was cool because they didn’t care about “trends.” The best part was realising that even though they live such a simple life, they are probably the most “chilled out” and happy people I’ve ever met.”
- “Always great to talk about religion with those who are fully devoted to it. It’s almost like having a mini retreat.”

Members of our Senior Leadership Team recently attended the International Franciscan Conference in Durham, hosted by the Centre for Catholic Studies (CCS). The event marked the historic 800th anniversary of the death of St. Francis of Assisi.
During the conference, our team presented “An... Educational Approach to Franciscanism: London 2026” to a global audience of academics, clergy, and laypeople from the UK, USA, and around Europe.
Following the conference, we are thrilled to announce that one of the keynote speakers, @caseyofm, and some of his other Franciscan brothers will be visiting our school this Wednesday.

Spring has certainly sprung in our local West Ham Park, and our Year 12s took advantage of the abundance of colour and new life during their Photography Enrichment Session.
The challenge was to focus on one colour, and these are just some of the beautiful and vibrant shots they have ...captured.

The day saw the formal swearing-in of seven newly elected "Child MPs" from partner primary schools. These young representatives will participate in a ...historic debate held in the House of Commons Chamber in October 2026.
Thanks again to everyone who made this event very special.

Students and staff gathered together in St Antony’s Church on the last day of the Spring Term for the Liturgy and Awards service. Prized departmental ties were awarded to distinguished students who had excelled in subject areas.
The highest commendation of the Assisi tie was awarded to ...students who consistently embody our seven cherished virtues of Faith, Hope, Charity, Integrity, Courage, Humility and Kinship.
We were also proud to announce how much has been raised during the term from the various and diverse range of activities and events that have taken place in support of our chosen charities - CAFOD, Macmillan Cancer Support, The British Red Cross and Aid to the Church in Need. With donations still coming in, the current total stands at a phenomenal £1,579.
