Over 500 pupils and many staff members completed an 8 mile walk on Friday 15th July, to raise money for various charities.

By simply running and walking to Wombourne and back, along the old railway track, so far we have raised a total of £1668.39.

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 Jackie Johnson from Tettenhall Police Station were invited to support the Academy this year.

Following the walk Lay Chaplain Mrs Ferris said;

“I would like to thank all of you who took part in the charity walk. You are amazing. It’s great to see so many students and staff taking part in such a worthy cause.”

All money raised will be donated towards: The Haven, Young Minds and Mary’s Meals.
