What an amazing time all the children are having this week away from school. It is wonderful to see all them all enjoying the fresh air, playing games, staying out till 9pm, having fun on the swings; and that's just the staff!

By the end of the week the children will have conquered their fears of the high ropes, the zip wire, rock climbing, abseiling, paddle boarding and canoeing! Wow! They will be exhausted when they get home, let alone with a suitcase full of dirty washing for their mums! 

Y6 Liturgy Leaders meet our Archbishop at the Cathedral and present our cheque for Fr Hudsons, at the Good Shepherd Mass.

Siobhan, Issy, Evie & Megan were great ambassadors for our school today! They formed part of the Offertory Procession during the Mass and presented the money we raised during Lent, to Archbishop Bernard Longley! 

It was a truly beautiful mass and we even managed to get a photo with the Archbishop outside. 

Miracle baby saved by surgeons who fitted him with a 'hand-made heart' is our own little ‘Mini Vinnie’.

Vinnie Holliday born with half a heart and had a life-saving operation at Birmingham Children's Hospital

He was diagnosed with Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) while still in the womb and needed open-heart surgery just 24 hours after being delivered.

Surgeons at Birmingham Children’s Hospital ‘rewired’ his heart to construct a new aorta - to allow the right side of his heart to pump blood round the body.

Vinnie is now 7 months old and his parents have agreed for him to be our own little mascot. Our first fundraiser is going to be for the Birmingham children’s Hospital to enable them to continue their amazing work and look after Vinnie, and others like him, as he grows up.

On his visit to school, the Presidents, Izzy and Sophie, from Y5, presented him with his Mini Vinnie badge, certificate, pledge card and prayer card.
