Footballing Brothers Give Life Lesson

21st November 2018Mrs D Curtis

Three brothers from St Edmund’s recently had the opportunity to share their knowledge about an inspirational First World War hero Walter Tull, one of the country’s first black footballers and the first infantry officer of black heritage in the British Army.

Twins Usman and Mehran, along with their younger brother Suleman, were chosen by Wolves Head of Education to share their life experience of struggle, since moving from Pakistan to Holland in 2010, and rejection they faced with Premier League players Conor Coady and Adama Traore

Usman explained that since moving from Holland to London in 2014, he and his brothers played for a Sunday league team called Alpha Omega.  During this time the brothers were spotted by Norwich Football Academy who invited the brothers to train with them.

In February 2018, Usman, Mehran and Suleman were rewarded for their dedication, skill and footballing commitment and signed for the Wolves Academy on full time contracts.  A move from London to Birmingham took place in order for their dreams to be given a chance of reality.

The brothers feel blessed and thankful for the wonderful support they have received from the Wolves Academy and St Edmund’s since arriving in Birmingham.  They are now considering fundraising so they can give something back to the community to say thank you.

Spooky Disco! 

13th November 2018Mrs D Curtis

The Sixth Form ran yet another successful charity event last Thursday, this time it was a ‘spooky disco’ for years 7 and 8.

Mrs Hazeldine, Principal, perfected the ‘Floss Dance’ as instructed by the year 7s.

Mrs Hogg (Assistant Head of Sixth Form) recruited a team of Sixth Formers who sold tickets and snacks at the event, which raised  just over £200.   Proceeds will be used to fund the annual Senior Citizens Party next month. Mrs Hogg said “It was an amazing night full of fun and laughter. A fantastic event creating memories for our students”.

Many thanks to all staff and sixth formers who helped to supervise.

Disaster at the Young Wolf Film Festival

19th July 2018Reizelle Mapalo

On the 4th of July, a total of eight students in Year 8 were picked to go on a trip to reward the highest average of ATL (Attitude to Learning). Mr Harris (Head of Year) took the group to Highfields Secondary School for the Young Wolf Film Festival where they met other students from participating schools.

To create the feeling of being in the film industry, the students were set in groups to create their own mini disaster film where they learnt how to edit their film with green screen using iMovie and Special FX.

Amelia, 8JW, said ” I really enjoyed working with wax, creating special effects and using the green screens to create a certain background.”

Students performed and created their own background audio to a company their film.   As well as this, to enhance their understanding of the film industry, teachers from the school helped and also brought in a specialised make-up artist.

“The make up I really liked because I want to work in the film field and it looked really cool,” Grace, 8KJ, stated.

Moreover, the two groups acted and performed their script in front of other students whilst in character; with this they were are able to gain their confidence in front of the camera to create a successful film. However, throughout the process of acting, many pupils did have their difficult times where they had to retake the scene again and again.

“My most embarrassing moment was when I forgot all my lines when they were filming us!” Brientony, 8HN,commented.  Mr Harris thought the whole experience was excellent and the pupils really enjoyed the make-up artistry.

The disaster films were a total success and were presented at the Young Wolf Film Festival premier on the 5th of July.

19th July 2018Adrian Bojarski

The school has organised an enrichment day for students to have fun and experience a variety of new activities.The event takes place on Tuesday 17th July and Wednesday 18th July and both of those days are non-uniform days. Enrichment day will be taking place in school, but certain activities require students to go outside of school.

The school has organised Culture Days to give students from all years a chance to meet other students and to socialise.This event helps students to meet people with different religions, different races and people who speak other languages.

Altogether there will be 37 different activities to choose from, including Hogwarts themed games and quizzes, practicing spells, making your own wand and favourite potions; Marvelathon Pyjama Film Premier; Gaelic Football; Cartoon Drawing; Performing Arts Musical; Golfing at Bantock Park to name just a few.

On Wednesday 18th July there will be a few visitors coming to share their skills and talents.  Students will have three double periods in their year group, and take part in the each of the three sessions. Visitors include Hannah Lewis, a singer from London who specialises in what she confidently refers to as “proper pop”. Hannah Lewis will be singing in the Arena.  Also, there will be an African Drum Company who will be performing in the Sports Hall; they will bring some drums and work with students to perform a piece of music.

Mr Katumba said, “The person that is leading it is Mrs Curtis because without her nothing would really move,”.  He has also put in a great deal of hard work toward this. Every teacher will lead an activity of interest and Mr Katumba can’t wait. The activities that Mr Katumba will be leading are said to be a ”Top Secret”!

Mrs Hughes Retires After 38 Years In Teaching

19th July 2018Paige Gostick

This year sees the end of an era for Principal Maggie Hughes, who has been in the teaching profession for 38 years.

On Friday the 31st of August, Mrs Hughes will retire from her role of Principal and pass on the role to Vice Principal, Mrs Hazeldine.

After securing her degree at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Mrs Hughes taught Mathematics at many different schools in the Walsall region. In 1989 she was appointed her first lead role as Head of KS4 at St Thomas More Catholic School, which would be the start of an era of leadership roles at alternating schools.

Maggie Hughes joined the St Edmund’s community in September of 2007 as Deputy Headteacher. As St Edmund’s underwent its transformation from a school to an academy, Mrs Hughes was appointed by the Directors as Principal after the retirement of former Principal, Deirdre Finucane. Mrs Hughes has taken the academy from strength to strength, and has achieved much in her time here, such as a ‘Good’ from the Ofsted inspection of March 2016, and the Ubi Caritas Award from Archbishop Longley in recognition of her role in leading all that is exceptional in Catholic education.

The academy is now over-subscribed with approximately 630 children applying for the 200 places available in Year 7 in September 2018 and has a thriving Sixth Form. Clearly, Mrs Hughes has helped to form the school into the distinguished Academy it is today. She will be sorely missed.

Mrs Hughes retires this year

Oxford University Visit

19th July 2018Jenisha Patel

Oxford University was visited by ten Year 10 students on the 1st of May.  They visited colleges Wadham and Balliol, where students learnt about university life. Students Juan Dhir and Mia Mandare Singh both agreed that it should have been open to the whole year group rather than ten students as they believe it was a beneficial trip. Pupils were given 3 taster-lectures which the majority enjoyed as it gave them a feel towards what university is like. A recommendation was made to this trip should occur again for the whole year or that perhaps someone from Oxford University might visit St. Edmund’s for a workshop.

Sports Day Success

19th July 2018Arabella Caligdong

Over the course of the week, each year participated in a year group Sports Day and competed in a variety of sports including football, table-tennis, basketball and target games.

Sports Day is an annual event in which pupils at St Edmund’s participate to support their tutor group and to compete against each other.  Thanks to the assistance of the PE department and some sixth formers, each sports day was very successful.

We would also like to thank the children who took part and for all their hard work supporting their tutor group.

Josh (8JW) stated, “I’m really proud of my team as we came first place.”

Tanisha (8JG) claimed, “It was really fun even though we came last place.”

It was very pleasing to see all students work together as a team.

RAF 100

19th July 2018Reizelle Mapalo

On Thursday 14th July, fourteen students in Year 8 were picked by the PE department to go to RAF Cosford to takepart in the RAF 100 games. Those chosen are considering taking GCSE PE next year.

The group were given a timetable with sports that they participated in throughout the day. For example, drown-racing, martial arts and tug of war. This helped advance the students’ life skills as well as give them an opportunity to see an insight into a job in the RAF.

The staff explained how their jobs worked and gave students the perspective as if they were performing the sport in reality. The men who were in charge of the firetruck explained the important necessities which can help them lead people to safety and perform the mission that they are given.

With the detail of information that each instructor explained, this will benefit the safety and the knowledge of each sport as the students take their experience back to school.  Moreover, most of the students said that they enjoyed the drown-racing, tug-of-war and the shooting practice the most out of the activities.

Overall, the students enjoyed the day and the opportunity to try out new sports.
