🚗🎈 Science Club in action! 🎈🚗
This week, our scientists put their engineering skills to the test by designing balloon-powered cars! Using air pressure, problem-solving, and a lot of teamwork, students experimented with speed, stability, and design tweaks to see whose car could travel the furthest. Lots of trial and error, plenty of excited races, and even more scientific thinking 💡
Learning physics has never been this much fun!
👏 Huge well done to everyone who took part, future engineers in the making! #ScienceClub #STEMinAction
Today, high-quality teaching and learning continued as our Year 10 PE students were introduced to a brand-new sport: goalball 👀⚽️
Through the lesson, students developed their communication and active listening skills — essential qualities that will directly support their Sports Coaching coursework. A brilliant example of learning that builds both skills and understanding 👏

Theme of the week: We Are Blessed. This week’s theme reminds us that blessing isn’t about wealth, success, or popularity. In the Gospel, Jesus teaches the Beatitudes, showing us that we are truly blessed when we live with kindness, mercy, peace, and courage. Jesus tells us that God is close to those who struggle, who care deeply for others, and who choose love even when it’s hard.
As we reflect on We Are Blessed, we’re invited to notice the blessings already present in our lives and to remember that we are blessed when we try to live as Jesus teaches — trusting that God walks with us in every part of our journey. #WeAreBlessed #Beatitudes #FaithInAction #ChooseLove #GospelReflection

A huge thank you in advance to all the providers who will be joining us – we’re excited to see the conversations, inspiration and ambition that will come from the day! 🚀

Theme of the week: Discipleship. In this week’s Gospel, Jesus begins His mission by calling ordinary people to follow Him. Walking by the Sea of Galilee, He invites fishermen to leave behind what they know and they respond immediately, trusting Him and stepping forward in faith.
Discipleship is about listening for Jesus’ call and having the courage to say yes. Jesus doesn’t call us because we’re perfect, but because He sees our potential.
Being a disciple means choosing to follow Jesus in our everyday lives, learning from Him and striving to live with love, courage, and service. #reflection
Theme of the week: Recognising Jesus. In the Gospel, John the Baptist recognises Jesus as the Lamb of God and points Him out to others. This reminds us that recognising Jesus is more than seeing, it’s understanding who He is and how He is present in our lives.
We are invited to recognise Jesus in kindness, truth, forgiveness, and love, and in ourselves and others when we choose compassion and care. When we do, we help share His light with the world. 🕯️ #FaithInAction
A fantastic start to the Wirral Cup for our Year 8 boys football team with a dominant 5-1 victory away at South Wirral. Goals from Taylor L, Cameron W and Caiden C. A superb performance from start to finish. Onto the next round!
Theme of the week: We Are Chosen and Called. This week’s Gospel reminds us of a powerful moment at the River Jordan. As Jesus is baptised by John, the Holy Spirit descends and God’s voice is heard: “This is my Son, whom I love.”
In that moment, Jesus is revealed as chosen and called for a special mission. It’s also a beautiful reminder for each of us. God knows us personally, loves us deeply, and calls us by name. 💙
Just as Jesus was chosen, we too are chosen, to live with purpose, to use our gifts, and to make a positive difference in the world around us. This Gospel encourages us to listen for God’s voice in our own lives and to respond with trust and courage, just as Jesus did. #reflection
