Blessing of a special mosaic to mark the Golden Anniversary of St Edward’s Academy, Swadlincote. It is made of pieces designed by the pupils. Thanks to Headteacher Jayne McQuillan for the kind invitation also to preside at a Mass of Thanksgiving on the Feast of the Sacred Heart.

Last week was Parliament Week and the children at St Edward's had the chance to meet their local MP @HeatherWheeler and pose their own questions to her! It was a fantastic experience and we all enjoyed finding out more about Parliament! #ParliamentWeek #Parliament #learning

Hats off to these two schools 👏 Together, they created a “mini” primary school in just four days after crumbling concrete meant part of the school had to shut.

A huge thank you to the wonderful people at @Hartshornecc for helping us out by providing a marquee for our children! This will give our KS2 children a space to wait for the bus on rainy days. Thank you so much for your generosity and help building it on site for us! 💛💙💛💙

Schools are unpicking our Mission statement at our Pupil Parliament meeting and discussing how we live it out. ‘Growing in faith, serving with love, transforming our world; together in Christ’. Some fantastic examples! #mission #education #learning

[Holy Rosary CVA @HolyRosaryCVA]

Lots of Feast Day focussed discussion at our @SRSCMAT Pupil Parliament Day. Lovely to sit with pupils @StEdwardsSwad and connect with other school pupils and staff across the Trust #StrongerTogether

Swadlincote Library 📚
Our wonderful Year 4 children visited Swadlincote Library to have a look at the wonderful selection of books they have. They also gathered a selection of historical photos and books on the history of Swadlincote 📚

In our portrait topic this half term, Year 2 have been learning how to use different sketching pencils to create shade and tones in their drawings. We then put those skills into practise by drawing an eye.
We are blown away by their new skills ✍🏻🙌🏻
