Congratulations to Olivia, our year 8 student, who has been selected to take part in the next round of the Dream Team Competition.

The purpose of this competition is to find talented young chefs, who would like to take part in the CBBC show called The Restaurant Dream Team. For the second round, Olivia had to send a video of herself making a starter and is now waiting to hear if she will be selected for the actual show!

Mrs Bates, Teacher of Food Technology, said, “This is a very exciting opportunity for Olivia and for the school. It was lovely to see so many students complete the application form.

Film and TV Director David Evans paid St Edmund’s a visit on Wednesday 27/3 to give a talk on his career in the industry. An audience of Film Studies students from Years 13, 11 and 9, plus 6th formers from other subjects, listened to his first hand experiences of working on a film set, and also benefited from his expertise in taking written scripts to finished scenes. They considered a range of creative and technical factors in bringing scenes to life.

Before half term the Year 8 Netball Squad took part in a 3 week tournament playing against 6 other schools in Wolverhampton.

The students did fantastically well and came an extremely close 2nd place behind Our Lady & St. Chad Catholic Academy, by only 2 points, earning them silver medals!

What a wonderful team success.

On Saturday 16 March four St Edmund’s U16 gymnasts travelled to Stoke-on-Trent to represent the West Midlands in the British Schools National Milano Gymnastics Championships.

It was a very busy day from the minute they arrived;  warm up, competition on floor then vault and then a quick 15-minute break before the trio group warm up and straight into the competition. The standard was very high and they were competing against lots of club gymnasts.  However, this did not phase the St. Edmund’s Team who went on to perform remarkably.

They performed on vault first, the flight that the team achieved was exceptional which secured two 14.75’s out of a possible 16.0 points.  The floor routines were next and the gymnasts performed with accuracy, flair and precision.  Finally came the trio group routine which was the best that had ever been performed by St Edmund’s students.  Fantastic synchronisation and excellent control was displayed throughout and Pe staff, Mrs Swindells and Mrs Cartlidge, could not have asked for any more.

The competition finished with the presentations and as a region, St Edmund’s  became BRITISH SCHOOLS NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! This was a very proud moment in the history of St Edmund’s gymnastics and it does show that all the hard work training for hours each week certainly pays off.

Congratulations and a big well done to the U16 team:-

Josh, Lysia, Amelia and Brientony

St Edmund’s now look forward to the U19 Floor & Vault team in their National Final on 4 May.
