Supporting at the Cleveland Schools Primary Cross Country Event
On Wednesday, we had the pleasure of attending the Cleveland Schools Primary Cross Country Event, where our students played an important role in helping the day run smoothly. A group of Year 8 and Year 9 students were selected to assist with the organisation of the event, taking responsibility for a range of tasks including coordinating teams, officiating races and leading warm-up activities. Throughout the day, they demonstrated excellent leadership skills, maturity and enthusiasm.
Celebrating Culture Through Food
As part of the launch of our Black History Month celebrations, students recently took part in an engaging African Cooking Workshop, giving them the opportunity to explore different cultures through food. During the session, students learned about traditional African ingredients and cooking techniques while working together to prepare a range of delicious dishes. The workshop provided a fantastic hands-on experience, helping students develop new skills and gain a deeper appreciation of the rich diversity of African culture.

We were incredibly proud of our pupils from English Martyrs Catholic School who had the privilege of leading the music for the Diocesan Lay Chaplain Recommissioning Mass last week.
