Today we held a leaving assembly for Mrs Nicholl who will be moving to AfC so she can follow her passion for finance. Mrs Nicholl has been at St Edmund's for 25 years as the School Business Manager. She will be a huge loss to our school as she knows so many of our families so well and has been a pure gift to our school community. There are so many behind the scenes events and activities that Mrs Nicholl supports that others are unaware of - her influence is far reaching and much appreciated. Some of our parents may know that Mrs Nicholl came to school here as a little girl and has a huge love and affinity for our school community. She will be sorely missed by colleagues, children and governors alike.
On Wednesday, one of our pupils was invited to take part in a special anniversary athletics event at St Mary's following her success in the middle-distance and sprint at the recent Borough Sports. She was racing against the other winning athletes from schools across Richmond. The middle distance proved tricky in the heat against some immense competition but she obviously saved her energy for the sprint, coming in first place! She was told she can officially call herself "the fastest girl in the borough"! Mr Rose and Miss Mullahy came to cheer her on and were very proud.
The girls football team who went to play in the National Girls Football Tournament on 12th June 2025 at the Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton were completely amazing! Contextually there were 2000 girls competing for 576 places across England to represent their local premier league teams. Our girls made it to the final 160 children which were the final 20 teams. They represented Brentford who were incredibly proud of their achievements. They took the competition by storm and were knocked out of the group stages by a last minute goal against Liverpool and ultimately lost by one point! The girls were phenomenal at every turn and as a team supported each other brilliantly. Their kit – Brentford away – suited them well and we can see them wearing it professionally in time to come. The Brentford representatives were blown away by the children's prowess on the pitch and comradery shown by the team members. THIS IS A HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT that St Edmund's, the only school in Richmond has achieved. WE ARE SO PROUD OF THESE GIRLS.
The Juniors have had a wonderful time answering Pope Francis's call to be Pilgrims of Hope during this Jubilee Year. Years 3 to 6 got to take part in a pilgrimage to Westminster Cathedral. They had a wonderful tour, led by the Guild of St John Southworth, and even got to see the relic of St Edmund in the crypt. They then took part in Mass and rounded the visit off with lunch. It was a wonderful way to celebrate the Year of Hope!
On Friday 6th June, the Girls' football team took part in the Richmond Borough Final against Meadlands School. They didn't know what to expect, having never played them before so they were quite nervous going into the game. In the end though, they managed to triumph, scoring 9 goals to Meadlands 1. We are proud to say we have managed to retain the Borough Trophy for the second year in a row.
The Rotary Club run a "Young Writer" Competition and the theme this year was "Wonderful Water" the theme could be interpreted as broadly as the Young Writer wished, and did not need to conform to the dictionary definition, they had the widest opportunity to share their creative talents in showing what this Theme means to them, their work could be handwritten, or typed story in prose or poem entitled 'Wonderful Water. Our writers were inspired by water streams and pollution. We had winners 1st, 2nd and 3rd and each child won a book token, well done to our winners and to everyone who entered the competition.
