🔦 Youth SVP spotlight 🔦

Time to share the work of our Youth SVP members of .

During Lent, one of our Youth SVP Conferences in embraced opportunities to pray, fast, give, and spend time together. From sharing soup to taking part in sponsored walks, they discovered that Lent is not only about personal sacrifice but also about building community and caring for those around them.

One theme ran through everything they did: listening. Through simple conversations, shared experiences, and moments of reflection, the school community learned to recognise those who might be feeling lonely or overlooked. Small acts of kindness, a friendly smile, or taking the time to listen.

🕵️‍♀️🔍 Hotel Homicide in Year 10 English! 🔍🕵️‍♂️

This Wednesday, our Year 10 pupils swapped the classroom for the crime scene as they took part in Hotel Homicide – an exciting murder mystery challenge!

Working in teams, our budding detectives solved clues, cracked codes and analysed evidence to uncover the identity of the murderer. Along the way, they demonstrated excellent critical thinking, teamwork and communication skills, using the evidence they gathered to justify their conclusions.

A huge congratulations to our winning team – Alfie, Bradley and Riley – for cracking the case! 🏆👏

What a fantastic way to bring problem-solving and analytical skills to life in English!

🎉 Congratulations to Our New Student Leadership Team! 🎉

A huge congratulations to Amelie, Aara, Noah and Alfie on being elected as Head Girl, Deputy Head Girl, Head Boy and Deputy Head Boy for the next academic year at Cardinal Allen! 👏

This year's selection process was incredibly competitive, with a significant number of applicants. Following interviews with the Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher, shortlisted candidates progressed to the final stage, where they presented their vision for the school through a video shown to the entire year group. Staff and pupils then cast their votes to help choose our new student leaders.

We are delighted to appoint four exceptional students to these prestigious roles. Their dedication, enthusiasm and commitment to our school community have already been evident, and we are confident they will continue to be outstanding ambassadors for Cardinal Allen.

We wish Amelie, Aara, Noah and Alfie every success in their new roles and look forward to seeing all they achieve over the coming year.

Congratulations once again! 🌟💙
