    Another week draws to a close, and it's been a particularly busy one: foodbank visits, Christmas dinner, Year 9 options launch, a mass for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, Disco Zumba, rehearsals for our carol service, and more. Phew! Wishing everyone a restful weekend!

    A lovely service celebrating the Immaculate Conception today with all of Year 7, governors, and Father Anthony. Some very loud and joyous singing, too, as part of the celebrations!

    Last week we had the pleasure of hosting our GCSE awards evening for last year's Year 11 cohort. We were proud to see lots of happy faces and to present so many special awards! See the full list of awards here: https://sjcs.org.uk/year-11-awards-evening-2024/

    A group of KS3 pupils had a very fun and messy afternoon yesterday with the Santa Run. We saw lots of smiles on faces and flour on everything else ❄️⛄ Thank you to Mrs Goulding and Mrs Maher for making it happen and getting themselves floured too in the process!
