End of Term Arrangements and Events

 The end of term is quickly approaching and in-between learning and mock examinations there are a number of ‘Christmas events’. This is a special time for us as a faith family and as a school we will be celebrating in a number of ways.  

 Students have the option of a Christmas Lunch (cost £3.50) on Wednesday 18th December 2024 (Prefect lunch on Tuesday 17th December 2024).   Year 7 students will have a special early sitting (18th December) where they will be able to celebrate together as a whole year group.  ALL Students will be required to buy a ticket in advance via parent pay only (Cost £3.50) by the closing date of Monday 9th December 2024.  Normal snack food will be available at break.  Only Christmas dinner will be available at lunch.  Students on FSM will be issued a ticket automatically. 

 On Thursday 19th December 2024 the Friends of St Edmund’s are holding a Christmas disco for Years 7 and 8 from 6.30pm to 8pm.  Tickets are £2 and available to purchase outside the DRA during break and lunchtime and are now on sale.  We have our Christmas Carol Concert on Monday 16th December 2024, 6pm, at St John’s Cathedral which all our students, staff, parents and community are invited to.  All Year 7 students, Chaplaincy Team and Senior Prefects are expected to attend.  

 Finally, on Friday 20th December 2024 staff and students will have our Emmanuel Celebrations before leaving for the Christmas break just after 12 noon.   Students may purchase lunch/snacks during morning break only.  This is a non-uniform day where we encourage students to wear a Christmas jumper (should they wish) at a cost of £1 which will go to a chosen charity.   All lessons will obviously continue to focus on curriculum content until we break up so as to ensure that students strive to make progress.
