Throughout the term we run a sewing club during lunchtime, which is a great way for children to learn how to sew. They have been using Binca to explore different stitches and have created these beautiful pieces, well done to everyone. https://t.co/qQDdJXp6R9
Thank you to Mrs Moreland and Mr Nash’s prefects who joined the residents of Age UK Whitton for some wonderful singing and dancing and also to our amazing Irish dancer for showcasing her Irish dancing skills. The residents were completely blown away! https://t.co/SWTZAm46o7
We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas dinner prepared by our school cooks yesterday. We could choose between a classic turkey dinner or a feta, spinach and cranberry puff pastry roll. Both options were enjoyed by all, as well as the Christmas hats, jokes, and music in the hall. https://t.co/ikickEZ3Jq
CAFOD World Gifts - this is the charity chosen by the Mini Vinnies this year. In order to fund raise all children will be doing a sponsored marathon along with the staff too. Here a few pictures of some of the children completing their mini sponsored marathon. https://t.co/X2b3umNEfm
The school council travelled to Westminster Cathedral to represent the school at the CCS Christmas advent Concert. They enjoyed the telling of the nativity and the singing of carols by the choirs and a donation was presented to CCS. We were also chosen to read a bidding prayer. https://t.co/MXjDSINeZz
Thank you so much for your donations that were collected after the Advent carol concert and the KS1 nativity performances - this was collected and donated to HCPT. HCPT is a registered charity offering pilgrimage holidays, to Lourdes in the south of France, for disabled and disadvantaged people from around the UK and further afield. The letters "HCPT" stand for the Hosanna House and Children's Pilgrimage Trust. The donations amounted to £677.04!! Thank you - It's supporters like you that help us change the world every day.
Well done to the Mini Vinnies for organising the "Sponsored Daily Mile" for the school's Advent fundraising 2024. The Daily Mile is a Health and Wellbeing initiative Children in schools and nurseries go outdoors together every day to run, jog and sometimes walk at their own pace for 15 minutes every day. Every child, whatever their age, ability or circumstances takes part. The Mini Vinnies thought it would be a good idea to make it a sponsored daily mile to raise funds to support CAFOD's work through World Gifts, as each gift bought helps to change the lives of those living in poverty. With the generosity of our Parents who sponsored their children we raised £537.00!! See below for the gifts that were bought with the funds. Thank you to the children for making this happen and thank you for your kind generosity once again.
We asked our wonderful children about some of the things they enjoy about coming to school here at St Edmund's. Call us on 020 8894 7898 (the school office) to book a tour on Tuesday 14th January or Wednesday 15th at 9am.
We are delighted to share our recent Catholic Schools Inspection report. Our wonderful school achieved Grade 1 in all nine areas with an overall Outstanding judgement. The full report can be read here https://bit.ly/4fTdd7E
Open mornings for Reception Places starting in September 2025
Loving Father, help us remember the birth of Jesus, That we may share in the song of the angels, The gladness of the shepherds, And worship of the wise men. May the Christmas morning make us Happy to be thy children And Christmas evening bring us To our beds with grateful thoughts For all our blessings. Amen. On behalf of all the staff at St Edmund's we wish you and your families a very happy and holy Christmas.
