Friday, 19th December 2025

Following the Christmas Liturgy, the highly anticipated end-of-term awards ceremony was held. Mr Shields led the proceedings, taking the opportunity to reflect on the considerable achievements of the school community during the past term. He highlighted the diverse range of activities pupils had participated in, particularly through the newly launched Curriculum Enrichment Days. Mr Shields also emphasised the significance of good attendance, reminding everyone that each pupil is expected to maintain at least 95% attendance.

Michaelmas Term Inter House Competition

Anticipation was high among staff and pupils alike for the results of the Michaelmas Term Inter House Competition. The points earned this term will accumulate over the next two terms, ultimately determining the recipient of the end-of-year House Trophy Award.

This term, pupils could contribute to their house's overall score by earning points for various achievements, including attendance, academic success, festive attire such as Christmas jumpers, classroom Christmas decorations, and participation in charity collections. However, points could also be deducted for receiving demerits.

The winners of the Michaelmas Term Inter House Competition were:

 St. Bernadette House

  Congratulations to all involved!
