Our 6th Form Talent Show was a major success with a range of acts from guitar and drum solos, to Bons n Roses and some amazing singers.
Well done to the joint winners from Year 12, and well done to all the performers. It takes a lot of bravery to perform in front of over 250 of your peers!...
A big thank you to Ms Bannis and Mrs Firth, who made the whole thing happen and ensured it was better than ever. It was really lovely to have a special guest judge, Mrs Ogunjobi (and her beautiful baby) with us for the evening. The students made the loudest noise of the night when they saw her.

Towards the end of the last term, Year 7 students enjoyed a high-impact, energetic and informative performance of a road safety drama led by @theriotactuk .
"Today in the road safety talk we learned about how to behave when you're around other vehicles and to resist when your ...friend says something reckless."
Another student said, "The workshop was really fun and taught us how to stay safe and behave sensibly around roads and moving vehicles."

Pope Leo XIV has proclaimed a Special Year of St Francis to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the death of St Francis of Assisi. ⛪️
As a Catholic school rooted in Franciscan tradition and education, we will celebrate this special year from 10 January 2026 to 10 January 2027 through ...a series of events and activities involving students of all year groups. These will inspire our students not only to know our core virtues: Faith, Hope, Charity, Integrity, Courage, Humility, and Kinship, but to live them in practice within their families and the wider local community.

Last week, our school celebrated the Feast of Epiphany ✝️ with a beautiful Mass. It was a time for reflection and prayer, as students and staff gathered to entrust the year ahead to God’s care and remember Christ as the light guiding their journey.
Maryloy (Year 12) shares her ...experience: “Serving at the school’s Epiphany Mass helped me understand and celebrate the meaning of the Epiphany more deeply. It was a meaningful opportunity to begin the academic year on a positive note, asking God to bless my studies and guide my journey this year, reminding me He’s at the centre of everything. Being gathered together as a school community also gave a strong sense of unity and shared purpose.”
