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.

10th March 2026Mrs J Byrne

These pupils represented the school superbly in the WASPS Mixed Tag Rugby Festival today, showing resilience and sportsmanship in all of their matches against teams from other City schools. We are delighted to share that this team came fourth overall in this competition which is a result to be very proud of.

F1 STEM Project Success

1st March 2026Mrs J Byrne

Over the last term some of our children have attended a special STEM after school club where they designed, manufactured, evaluated and improved a model Formula One racing car. On Monday, three teams attended a STEM racing event at Harper Adams University where they competed against 12 other teams. They were judged not only on how fast their cars were on the track but also by how well made they were and on their ability to justify their design choices to a panel of judges. Miss Field was exceptionally proud of all of the children who took part for their team work and their oracy skills on the day. Congratulations to team Fast and Furious who came top 3 in their verbal presentation, Lightning Girls who won an award for ‘Future Vision’ and for team Storm Speeders who won two awards for the Fastest car and Best engineered car.

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.
