The Year 4 girls had a fantastic time representing the school at the Premier League Primary Stars Girls football event at Heathfield School. The morning was dedicated to developing their football skills through fun and engaging training sessions, while the afternoon brought out their competitive spirit in an exciting tournament. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn, play and show great team spirit.
The children had a brilliant day out at Hampton Court Palace. They were immersed into King Henry VIII's court and had an amazing time playing and learning as true Tudors. All of the children thoroughly enjoyed the day learning about the historical importance of the palace, from the secret passageways to the extravagant gardens.
Today we held a leaving assembly for Mrs Nicholl who will be moving to AfC so she can follow her passion for finance. Mrs Nicholl has been at St Edmund's for 25 years as the School Business Manager. She will be a huge loss to our school as she knows so many of our families so well and has been a pure gift to our school community. There are so many behind the scenes events and activities that Mrs Nicholl supports that others are unaware of - her influence is far reaching and much appreciated. Some of our parents may know that Mrs Nicholl came to school here as a little girl and has a huge love and affinity for our school community. She will be sorely missed by colleagues, children and governors alike.
On Wednesday, one of our pupils was invited to take part in a special anniversary athletics event at St Mary's following her success in the middle-distance and sprint at the recent Borough Sports. She was racing against the other winning athletes from schools across Richmond. The middle distance proved tricky in the heat against some immense competition but she obviously saved her energy for the sprint, coming in first place! She was told she can officially call herself "the fastest girl in the borough"! Mr Rose and Miss Mullahy came to cheer her on and were very proud.
The girls football team who went to play in the National Girls Football Tournament on 12th June 2025 at the Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton were completely amazing! Contextually there were 2000 girls competing for 576 places across England to represent their local premier league teams. Our girls made it to the final 160 children which were the final 20 teams. They represented Brentford who were incredibly proud of their achievements. They took the competition by storm and were knocked out of the group stages by a last minute goal against Liverpool and ultimately lost by one point! The girls were phenomenal at every turn and as a team supported each other brilliantly. Their kit – Brentford away – suited them well and we can see them wearing it professionally in time to come. The Brentford representatives were blown away by the children's prowess on the pitch and comradery shown by the team members. THIS IS A HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT that St Edmund's, the only school in Richmond has achieved. WE ARE SO PROUD OF THESE GIRLS.
The Juniors have had a wonderful time answering Pope Francis's call to be Pilgrims of Hope during this Jubilee Year. Years 3 to 6 got to take part in a pilgrimage to Westminster Cathedral. They had a wonderful tour, led by the Guild of St John Southworth, and even got to see the relic of St Edmund in the crypt. They then took part in Mass and rounded the visit off with lunch. It was a wonderful way to celebrate the Year of Hope!
