The school came together for the special celebration Mass for St Teresa’s Feast Day.
Pupils have been celebrating Little Way Week all week and have been following in St Teresa’s ‘little way’ with small acts of kindness. It was great for classes to adorn our St Teresa statue with flowers and baskets of their kind acts and prayers.
After a week of writing manifestos, hustings, campaigning and holding democratic elections, the results are in!
Our Head Boy, Head Girl, Deputy Head Boy and Deputy Head Girl counted and recorded all votes on Monday 20th September. 8 new House Captains and 14 new School Council Members were voted in. Congratulations to the new Electees!

Pupils at the Polling Station
This week we welcomed our new Reception pupils to our St Teresa family. They have settled in really well and are full of smiles each morning as they run through the school gates. Well done Reception Class for a fantastic start to primary school!!!
Here are some photos of what they have been doing in their first few days…
We are so proud of S, S and S for receiving their first Holy Communion on Sunday. You participated in the service confidently and respectfully and it was pleasure to witness such an important time in your lives.
May this be an initial step into a life-long love of the Eucharist.
This week the School Council organised a Skip-a-thon to raise money to buy more sports equipment for break and lunch time. Each class took part in skipping challenges and donated £1. The Skip-a-thon was developed by two School Councillors in Year 4 (Gurleenjot and Prakriti) who came up with the idea after seeing some water-damaged equipment. They met with Mrs McHale to pitch their idea to replace the equipment. Mrs McHale was impressed with their entrepreneurial skills and gave them permission to organise the event. Gurleenjot and Prakriti organised the events; researched the cost of the equipment; created posters to display in school and collected and counted the donation money.
They raised a fantastic £50!!!
We are so proud of Gurleenjot and Prakriti who had a small idea which grew into something much bigger!
Well done!
This term, each class have had the opportunity to extend and deepen their learning and knowledge through going on an educational visit. They all had an amazing time and learnt a great deal that supported their learning in the classroom.
Year 1 Trip to Kingswood Outdoor Education Centre
Year 2 and Year 3 Trip to the Botanical Gardens
Year 5 Trip to Blists Hill
Year 2 are about to enter Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory! Their teachers have transformed a classroom into a magical world as part of their English unit. The students have written some marvellous recipes for delicious chocolate treats and will now make them in their very own chocolate factory!

What a week! We have learned it is all about TEAMWORK and having fun this week. Well done children, you have; completed a skip-a-thon, raised money for new equipment, had a PB day, sports days, made smoothies on a bike, designed your own sport games, listened to a Wolverhampton Police Officer, about keeping safe, welcomed Councillor Hardacre and so much more! GO TEAM ST T!
Our Day in Paris!
Passport ready, we all took off (virtually) for Paris on Thursday. Children enjoyed having their passport stamped for different opportunities to learn about the Capital city, improve their French, study the artist Claude Monet and much more. They also visited a French café where they were able to sample a range of French foods. Throughout the day, pupils read French books and took part in a whole school art project based on ‘Water Garden’ by Monet. At lunch time we even held our very own Tour de France cycle event! Well done to the Bikability pupils in Year 4 and Year 5 who took part!
