Like thousands of schools up and down the country, today St Edmund's have joined in the Comic Relief fun!

As well as special assemblies, classroom activities and games, children were invited to come to school in blue and yellow clothes to show support of Ukraine.

Children also watched a number of staff compete in 'The Masked Dancer', and over the past few days, pupils have shared jokes online. Each class then chose their favourite. The winning joke was...

Why can't Elsa from Frozen have a balloon?

Because she will only 'LET IT GO...LET IT GO!'

As a school, we have raised an incredible amount of money, and this year half will be going to a charity to help those in Ukraine. Thank you for all your wonderful efforts, to help those during this challenging time.

Well done everyone!

Well done to the girl's football team in Year 5 and 6 for winning all their matches they played on the 9th March. 

They won 2-1 to Houndsfield, 7-0 to Eldon and 3-0 to Edmonton County.

It was a great team effort by all. Fantastic work girls, an amazing team!

World Book Day is fast approaching and this year St Edmund's will be celebrating on Friday 4th March. We are pleased to welcome back the book day fair allowing children to use a £1 voucher towards a book of their choice. 

The book fair will take place on Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th March, in the school hall, starting at 3:10 pm and finishing at 4:00 pm. Your child will also receive a £1 book voucher that can be used towards the book of their choosing. 

This year, unlike previous years, you will be able to pay using your phone, however a cash option is also available. 

Please help make this World Book Day the best yet, and all commission will help keep our school library full of amazing books for our pupils to read.

St Edmund's is a very happy and welcoming community where parents, staff and governors work together to achieve the best education for every one of our children. 

As a Catholic school, St Edmund's aims to develop each child to reach their full potential in a friendly, positive, safe and caring atmosphere. Our child-centred approach focuses on the individual needs of the child, to ensure success whilst providing opportunities for spiritual, personal and intellectual growth.

This academic year, we have introduced a new behaviour policy to meet the changing needs of our students after a very challenging 18 months, which may have effected their personal growth and academic progress.

It is our firm belief behaviour across our school must be outstanding, in order for children to make progress and the relationship between home and school is vital for pupils to thrive. We hope the information below, along with our policy, will help to explain our school rules, approach and continue the close cooperation staff and parents have had during the history of our school.

St Edmund's Catholic Primary School Behaviour Policy

Each term, St Edmund's changes which pupils have the privilege to wear a Red Tie! Ten new children from Year 6 have been chosen by their teacher who have been excelling in everyday school life. This group demonstrates our school motto 'Love, Care, Share' every day. They are excellent role models to the younger children because of their effort, resilience and big smiles!

From collecting registers, helping in the dinner hall, setting up games during wet breaks, they have already justified why they have been chosen. They will continue in this role until the Easter break when the final ten children will be chosen.

Well done everyone!

Earlier this week, children from Year 4, 5 and 6 were invited to attend a very special theatre production at the Millfield Theatre. 

The production was an exciting opportunity for children to see a live performance from the 'Dream Believe, Succeed' project, which is funded by the Mayor's Young Londoners Fund. The show was filled with amazing singing and incredible choreography, as pupils watched the story of well-known fairytale characters embark on a journey of fitting in, creating friendships and making right choices. 

It was a fantastic treat and great way to start the new term. All 130 children who attended loved the experience and represented the school brilliantly. Great work everyone!

Here are a few quotes of what children thought of the show:

"I absolutely loved it. It was very funny!"

"The music was great, I just wanted to start dancing!"

"The dancing was cool, they were very good dancers!"

"I had never been the theatre before. It was good fun, and hopefully we can go again."
