Over 500 pupils and many staff members completed an 8 mile walk on 15 July, to raise money for Cancer Research UK.  Raising a total of £1793.50, by simply running and walking to Wombourne and back, along the old railway track.

This is a long standing tradition at St Edmund’s Catholic Academy when the whole school community comes together to help generate funds to support local, national and international charities.

PC Whittaker and WPC Plimmer from Tettenhall Police Station were invited to support the Academy this year.

Following the walk PC Whittaker said;

“We would like to congratulate your students at St Edmund’s for their polite, respectful and engaging attitude towards us. It was good to see a school with a positive attitude being shown by so many students. Please congratulate them on our behalf. There was also no litter to be seen, well done!”
