SSPP Team Complete Wolverhampton 10k for Dementia UK

29th March 2026Mrs J Byrne

A committed team comprising parents, staff, former pupils and a current pupil took on the Wolverhampton 10k today in support of DementiaUK . The team were joined by a welcome addition on the day as Manny decided to join us. Staff have been amazed at the support from the school and parish community, with incredible backing monies raised have surpassed £1170 which doubles the team’s target! To GIVE during Lent helps us focus on discipleship, this money will serve those in great need suffering from or caring for loved ones with dementia. It was excellent to see so many families cheering our team on along the way.

 

Lent Projects

27th March 2026Mrs J Byrne

Pupils were invited to make a project during Lent to share with their peers – the projects received are very creative. Some projects link to scripture, others focus on customs in Lent and specific vocabulary. Artistic projects included collages, sculpture, sketches and painting. One of our pupils has even written and recorded his own song, his peers are going to learn it and they will share it with the whole school community. Thank you to families helping children create these beautiful projects.

Nursery lenten crosses

27th March 2026Mrs J Byrne

Nursery have been learning about Holy Week with a focus on the cross. They have sculpted and made their own crosses as they learn about Jesus carrying the cross and dying on the cross. They ended the week making hot cross buns. 

Alton Castle Retreat

22nd March 2026Mrs J Byrne

Children preparing for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist went on retreat with their peers to the Alton Castle. The Kenelm Youth Trust leaders prepared and led a wonderfully spiritual, reflective and engaging day. The Retreat called, ‘Come to the Table’ involved opportunities for collaboration, teamwork, ways to build trust, meditation and worship. This was a beautiful day with many blessings, no doubt memorable and rewarding for every child participating. We continue to pray for the children preparing for First Confession this Lent.

 

Deanery Vocations Mass

13th February 2026Mrs J Byrne

This week representing pupils and staff attended the Mass for Vocations at St Patrick’s Church alongside young people from across the Deanery schools. After Mass our Year 6 representatives had the opportunity to meet and hear from people living out their vocation in important roles within the Church. Pupils learned so much with a ‘thirst for knowledge’ in line with our Diocesan mission.  We continue to pray for Vocations throughout February at home, in school and in our parish.

Year 6 Campaign for Climate Action – Catholic Social Teaching

13th February 2026Mrs J Byrne

As part of Geography week Year 6 extended their learning about the Rainforests of Brazil, by planning and delivering campaigns connected to caring for our common home. It is essential to our catholic curriculum to make links between what we learn and how this relates to Catholic Social Teaching. Each team created props and posters and one group even had a mascot. They shared their pitch’s in a whole school assembly, sharing compelling evidence willing us to take action ourselves. This was a great way to further extend oracy skills – what confident, articulate and knowledgeable young people!
