Bishop Ellis Catholic Voluntary Academy

Year 4 + Beaumanor Hall = teamwork, adventure, and good fun! 😀⭐

Year 5 had a wonderful—and very wet—day out last week at the outdoor pursuit centre. The children threw themselves into every activity and had an amazing adventure from start to finish!👌⭐️

Our Early Years children have been exploring all the wonderful things God has given them. During RSE, they shared what they wanted to be when they grew up - they expressed this through drawing and painting. Such beautiful imaginations and big ambitions from our little learners! 😀🌟

Last Friday, we had the joy of welcoming Bishop Patrick McKinney to our school as he blessed our new Jubilee Chapel of Saint Barnabas.
A beautiful Mass was celebrated, supported by our wonderful chaplaincy team, our talented choir, and members of our wider school community, Trust, and Diocese.
A truly special afternoon filled with faith, gratitude, and togetherness.✨

Bishop Ellis Colour Dash 2026! 🌈🫟

Our children and their families had an amazing time taking part in this year’s sponsored Colour Dash. Together, they helped raise vital funds for Leicester Children’s Holidays: Lifting Children's Hopes Charity, supporting joyful experiences for local children living in poverty. A fantastic event for a fantastic cause — and a day full of colour, laughter, and community spirit.

A beautiful Ascension Mass yesterday morning led by Father Paul, bringing our school community together in faith and reflection. Grateful for the moment of peace and unity. Thank you to the parents and family members who joined us. ✨

Year 6 had a brilliant day out at the Warning Zone — the perfect bit of fun and adventure after last week’s SATs 😃🌟!

A big adventure for our Early Years today — a shopping trip to Asda! 🛒
The children picked their own items for our Farm Café and paid at the tills, practising real‑life maths and independence along the way.
Proud of our little shoppers. ✨

🌿 Celebrating David Attenborough’s 100th Birthday 💚

Our early years children took part in a special art and craft session inspired by David Attenborough and his incredible work with the natural world!💚🌍🐟🐌🐞🐝🐋💙

Our Early Years learners spent time exploring the clouds in our forest school area. They talked about cumulus cloud development using the sky as their classroom. The children created pictures based on what they could see above and around them. Everyone had a wonderful time discovering, creating and having fun with Nature ☁️💙
