School News (159)

SMU Strawberry Hill HouseSt Mary’s (pictured), one of four Catholic universities in England, has announced plans to open a new school of medicine on its Strawberry Hill campus in Twickenham.

The announcement comes after the General Medical Council (GMC) provided assurance that St Mary’s is currently on track and making good progress towards required standards for medical education. The university will initially be recruiting international students and plans to welcome its first cohort in September 2026.

Speaking of the news, St Mary’s University (SMU) Vice-Chancellor Professor Anthony McClaran said: “The launch of a school of medicine is a cornerstone of the university’s plan for strategic growth and is in keeping with our tradition of delivering a sustained, positive impact on society.

“The school will not only contribute to the workforce development demands in the UK for more doctors and medical professionals, but it will also train global professionals able to work anywhere in the world. Our approach to developing the whole person during students’ time at SMU will mean medics of the future will leave this university with the technical and personal skills they need to deliver truly holistic, compassionate, patient-centred care.”

Interim Founding Dean of the School of Medical Professor Michael Bewick added: "Complemented by the existing successful Allied Health and Sports Science provision, St Mary’s is the natural place to establish a forward-thinking centre of medical training. I am delighted we are making consistent steps forward in making this ambition a reality.”

In a further development, SMU has also signed a new curriculum partnership with the University of Central Lancashire. The partnership will see SMU use the University of Central Lancashire’s Bachelor Medicine Bachelor Surgery curriculum in the development of the School of Medicine and their commitment as SMU’s contingency partner throughout the GMC accreditation process.

Pro Vice-Chancellor (Health and Campus Development) Professor Cathy Jackson was the Founding Head of the University of Central Lancashire’s Medical School. She joined the institution in 2014 to set up the university’s medical school and led the team through to full accreditation of the programme by the GMC.

Professor Jackson said: “Opening a brand-new medical school will present St Mary’s University with the ability to teach the next generation of professionals in a modern way.

“When the University of Central Lancashire opened its new medical school, my team had the unique opportunity of writing a curriculum from scratch that would be fit for the long-term future.

“The University of Central Lancashire’s Medical School will now support St Mary’s new medical school as it’s contingent partner as it progresses through all the stages to full GMC accreditation, and I’m delighted they’ll now deliver the curriculum we created to their new cohort of students.”

St Mary's new school of medicine will benefit from the latest technology, new facilities, and advanced teaching practices, building on its proven history of teaching excellence and student satisfaction. SMU is currently placed in the Top 10 nationally for student experience and the Top 5 nationally for teaching quality in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024.

The GMC oversees both undergraduate and postgraduate medical education and training in the UK. Any institution looking to establish a new medical school or training programme must demonstrate that it meets the GMC’s standards by being subject to an extensive period of quality assurance. SMU is pleased to have been granted permission to move to the next phase of its School of Medicine and the University will be submitting further evidence to GMC as it works towards the final timetable.

Once complete, SMU’s new medical school will operate alongside health and medical schools at England's three other Catholic universities: Birmingham Newman UniversityLeeds Trinity University and Liverpool Hope University.

The following are tried and tested methods discussed at a recent training session arranged by the Diocese of Westminster Education Service.

Warning signs could be falling rolls every year, and not being the first choice for increasing numbers of pupils.  

Potential solutions:

  • make contact with local pre-schools and nurseries, ensure school’s marketing materials displayed and available 
  • invite pre-schools and nurseries to use school’s resources and attend taster days
  • arrange reading sessions for pre-school and nursery children with school’s Year 6 pupils
  • Record in database contact details not just of every prospective parent emailing the school to enquire about places, but also those phoning up or visiting reception
  • use database to invite prospective parents to open days, at which school choir sing
  • write to thank prospective parents for attending open day, invite them to ask questions
  • email Christmas messages to prospective parents – ie ensure regular contact
  • plan a school tour route for prospective parents, choose and carefully train pupils in how to be guides
  • without clear instructions pupils may spend the tour focusing on their favourite or least favourite parts of the school, which may not align with what a prospective parent needs to see 
  • headteachers could attend Mass in nearby churches and introduce the school, and be available to talk to prospective parents at the end
  • spread these responsibilities across several staff members, make sure everyone aware of efforts to reverse falling school rolls
  • don’t leave it all up to one already very busy staff member

Sacred Heart Catholic School is an oversubscribed mixed secondary in Camberwell, Southwark Archdiocese, of more than 850 pupils. For the last 20 years, it has been the, or one of the, top performing secondary schools in the borough of Southwark.

A third of pupils are eligible for Free School Meals and just under 50% receive the Pupil Premium. In the last academic year Sacred Heart Catholic School’s Progress 8 score put it in 11th place in the country. 

Pupil Premium funding is focused partly on improving pupil-teacher ratio – a vital tool for ensuring individual pupils’ success. Pupil-teacher ratios range from 1:30 for more academic children to 1:15 for those pupils needing extra help and support. 

The school’s sixth form is equally successful, sending pupils to Oxford, Cambridge, and Russell Group universities and to Ivy League universities in the USA. The school fundamentally believes that creating trust within the community and, in particular, with parents is vital to the overall success of the school.

Supporting the marginalised 

Supporting charities and the marginalised, defenceless and poor in the community is part of the school’s Catholic ethos. The school emphasises how it is possible for all to improve the lives of those less fortunate and therefore encourages the pupils to appreciate more of what they have.  

Pupils and staff engage in fundraising includes activities such as car washing, raffles, carol singing, penalty scoring, bake sales, and form group stalls during Charity Week. This culminates in the annual school Bridge Walk that includes up to 700 pupils and staff participating in a sponsored walk along the Thames and over London’s bridges. These activities generally raise more than £10,000 in the course of a year for the local community. 

In addition, every form group produces Christmas hampers for isolated, elderly and housebound residents in the local area, with 150 hampers hand-delivered by pupils in the run-up to Christmas last year. They also fundraise to buy Christmas gifts for more than 100 children elsewhere in the parish who would not otherwise receive any due to the increasing cost of living in inner London. Form groups donate gloves, jumpers, socks and other essential winter items to a nearby charity for military veterans. The idea of charity as the main vehicle for children to live their faith is important to the fundamental values that the school holds.  

“Through living our faith we help pupils understand that there’s always someone worse off than ourselves. Money’s always tight, but we’re a tight community as well.”

Serge Cefai, Headteacher 2005–2023

Breakfast club, homework space

Other strategies are put in place to ensure that, whenever possible, compensatory factors account for individual pupils’ circumstances. Examples are provision of a warm space from 7.30am when the school opens, with breakfast provided for pupils assessed as in need. Sacred Heart acts as a back-up facility for out of hours study when this is not possible at home due to circumstances. This includes extended opening times in the school library from 7.30am-5.30pm daily, as well as a supervised homework room.

The school prioritises building up trust through a strong emphasis on pastoral care. Pastoral teams meet very regularly and huge efforts are made to ensure that individual pupils’ circumstances are assessed.  This enables intervention strategies to be implemented, for example for pupils without any basic stationery at home, wifi, or laptops, while sharing rooms with multiple siblings. The school supplies these items along with its supervised out of hours homework space on site.        

Crisis support 

In addition, families experiencing severe difficulties are supported. This might include issues such as housing, immigration, and carer responsibilities that the cost of living crisis has worsened, and which can negatively affect pupils’ wellbeing at home. The school employs an Attendance and Support Officer who supports the work of the school in addressing issues of school attendance and welfare and, when necessary, visits families in their homes. The officer identifies issues early and facilitates family meetings with agencies, sometimes advocating on their behalf, to prevent or minimise disruption to children’s education.     

For households in crisis, several procedures are put in place including a dedicated staff member who among other things provides a school uniform mending service, along with second-hand uniforms and a stock of shoes. The pastoral team identifies when a child is in need of Free School Meals and encourages parents to apply. The school intervenes to provide meals in advance of local authority funding, in some extreme cases conducting a weekly shop at local supermarkets, replacing fire-damaged beds, and any other desperately needed items for families assessed as in extreme difficulty due to the economic climate. 

Moral education

At Key Stage 3, bespoke life skills lessons are taught that cover and exceed the national curriculum, emphasizing the importance of budgeting, savings and basic economics.

Parental engagement is again a fundamental tool for overall success. Pupils’ performance at school is ranked in order of academic achievement and behavioural criteria, so parents can see at a glance how their child is doing. Inspired by football league tables, and published on noticeboards outside classrooms, this approach has motivated pupils both to national educational success and to embody the school’s Catholic ethos. Truth and transparency leading to trust is, again, fundamental to the successful running of this high achieving school.

“As well as outstanding academic outcomes, Sacred Heart prides itself on educating the whole child.  Academic results will only go so far, and we insist on a comprehensive programme of moral education, teaching good manners and respect. We are determined to show our pupils that Gospel values are to be lived by, especially when it comes to looking after and caring for those less fortunate.”

Richard Lansiquot, Headteacher, 2023-present

SMU Strawberry Hill HouseThe role of Catholic multi-academy trusts (CMATs) within the Church’s mission is currently the subject of a university research project.

St Mary’s, in Twickenham (pictured), is one of four Catholic universities in England and will look into the effectiveness and distinctiveness of CMATs, their leadership formation, and how CMATs fit in with the Church’s structures.  

The aim is to help inform the Church as it accompanies Catholic educational leaders in their vocational and spiritual formation. It promises to assist in the development of CMATs, and the structures for their support, to positively impact staff and students. 

Funded in its first phase by the Sisters of the Holy Cross Charitable Incorporated Organisation, the research will be carried out with the support of the CES; Formatio partnership of dioceses, CMATs and universities; and the Catholic Academy Trust Training Collaborative (CATtColl).

Direct oversight of the research will be undertaken by Professor Stephen Parker, Director of the university’s Centre for Catholic Education, Research and Religious Literacy (CERRL), with the support of Dr Mary Mihovilovićand CMAT Research Fellow, Dr Jakub Kowalewski. 

Professor Parker said: St Mary's is responding to the call of CEOs themselves for knowledge which assists them in fulfilling their vocational roles in providing Catholic education which makes a difference to young lives in line with the Church's mission, at a point of significant change in Catholic education in England.

Broadly, the research will investigate:

  • the effectiveness and distinctiveness of CMATs
  • the current experiences of CMAT leaders, their professional and spiritual formation and likely future need in a period of great organisational and educational change 
  • the current and future positioning of CMATs within the wider mission of the Church and its existing educational and ecclesial structures of support and governance

Suzanne Lewis Dale St Josephs Catholic AcademyThe National Catholic Leadership Programme (NCLP) has been established by the Formatio partnership to support the formation and recruitment of future and recently-appointed headteachers. 

Founding member of Formatio, Mike Shorten, presented the concept of the NCLP, endorsed by the CES and Formatio, for each diocese to use a common framework to meet their own needs. The framework's writers come from Catholic teaching schools across the country, and at present the dioceses of Hexham and Newcastle, Leeds and Nottingham are at different stages of piloting the NCLP course.  

Suzanne Lewis-Dale (pictured) is Acting Headteacher of St Joseph's Catholic Academy, which is part of Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust, in the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle.

Here, she reflects on her experience with the NCLP:

"I joined the course because I love learning, I love knowledge which challenges me to look at my practices through different lenses. This means that I’m on a continual journey of professional learning and better equipped to support the staff and students in my care. I thought that the course would give me time to reflect, share good practice and challenge me.

"It did all that and more. The opportunities to network and build up professional dialogues about key challenges within schools was incredibly valuable. 

"The sessions I enjoyed were the sessions rooted in our purpose and our 'why' - Christ at the centre. It was really interesting to look at accountability, teaching and learning, and curriculum through the lens of Catholicism, faith present with you, reminds us of our purpose. It is really easy to get lost in the day-to-day business, in the numbers, data and processes.

"This strand of Christ and God through the key aspects of leadership was a real opportunity for reflection. Listening to the range of different speakers from different roles exploring themes and sharing practice was inspiring and I took so many elements back into school.

"The big impact on my daily practice were the ideas surrounding Christ at the centre. For many of our students we are their only encounter, we are the Church. We are all parts of a whole. This was very different to my NPQH and other leadership courses I have taken part in. 

"I would highly recommend the course."

Catholic schools have a long history of welcoming pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and were among the first to be established for this purpose in the last century. 

At the heart of every Catholic school sits the person of the Lord Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Catholic Church on the God-given dignity of each human life. Each and every person is to be valued as God’s creation. The Church’s vision is firmly rooted in the example of Jesus, who turned no-one away, but made himself available to all.

Across England and Wales there are overall 25 non-maintained Catholic SEND schools and independent Catholic schools approved for SEND provision. 

St Roses imageLocal councils frequently pay for non-Catholic pupils to attend these schools because the standard of SEND education is the best in the area. 

Catholic special schools are a small but important part of the Catholic education sector yet sadly they are often forgotten or overlooked in the national education arena.Some academic research even denies the existence of ‘faith’ special schools, which can distort conclusions about the number of students with SEND in Catholic schools.

Similarly, national statistics can also overlook local government placing and funding non-Catholic children with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) in independent and non-maintained Catholic SEND schools.  

St Rose’s (pictured) is a non-maintained, all-through (combined primary and secondary) school founded by the Dominican Sisters of St Rose’s Convent, in Stroud, Clifton Diocese, in 1912.  Rated as ‘outstanding’ in its latest Catholic Schools Inspectorate report, meeting students’ educational potential and enabling independence are key parts of the curriculum. 

This involves teaching life skills such as nutrition, money management and time management, while wheelchair-accessible transport provides opportunities for trips to go shopping, ice skating, and more. Other activities students enjoy include horse riding, yoga, and swimming in the St Rose’s hydrotherapy pool.

The school grounds are also home to St Martin’s, a Catholic residential college for students with SEND aged 19-25, which delivers a work-related learning and careers programme, work experience placements, and mentoring. 

Sheila Talwar is Principal of St Rose’s and St Martin’s. She said: “The thing for me is how important it is our students have the opportunities that mainstream children have. In the past, our young people have been able to go to university and have careers, such as qualifying as a social worker, or working for the BBC, and one student became a member of the Para OrchestraThese days our students have more complex needs, and our focus is on preparing them for their adult lives with as much independence as possible.”

Anthony Kennedy English Martyrs Catholic SchoolThe National Catholic Leadership Programme (NCLP) has been established by the Formatio partnership to support the formation and recruitment of future and recently-appointed headteachers. 

Founding member of Formatio, Mike Shorten, presented the concept of the NCLP, endorsed by the CES and Formatio, for each diocese to use a common framework to meet their own needs. The framework's writers come from Catholic teaching schools across the country, and at present the dioceses of Hexham and Newcastle, Leeds and Nottingham are at different stages of piloting the NCLP course.  

Anthony Kennedy (pictured) is Acting Head of School / Deputy Headteacher of English Martyrs' Catholic Primary School, which is part of Bishop Bewick Catholic Education Trust, in the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle. Here he reflects on his experience with the NCLP:  

"As a school leader, I have been fortunate to attend several leadership courses and have been able to access a range of personal development opportunities.  Although each one has enabled me to grow as a leader, none of these have had the same impact on me as the NCLP.

"The facilitators of the course were exceptional, each bringing a wealth of experience and expertise in leadership within Catholic education. Rich discussion was encouraged, allowing us to share our own experiences while drawing on their extensive backgrounds.

"The cohort included a diverse group of leaders, each from different backgrounds and experiences but with a uniting belief in the Catholic faith. This diversity enriched our conversations and enabled us to learn not only from the facilitators but also from one another. Working with secondary colleagues within the cohort provided a different insight to leadership challenges outside of the primary phase. The relationships I built during this course have fostered a supportive network and friendships within our diocese, that I now regularly turn to for guidance and encouragement.

"What makes the NCLP different to any other professional development I have experienced, is that each aspect of leadership theory was rerouted to ensure the Catholic mission and ethos of our schools were embedded throughout each session.

"The course contains relevant and current issues in education, including inclusion, mental health and social justice. The project work allowed me to have a focus for development and put the theory into practice, applying learning to real-world challenges within my school.

"Additional opportunities within the course structure, such as the residential, provided priceless experience I will draw upon when going for future leadership positions. Working with experienced leaders across our Trusts and Diocese proved to be some of the best professional development I have experienced.

"Each session begins with time for prayer and reflection. As well as the theory and practical ideas taken from each session, it has also allowed me time for spiritual nourishment and time for myself away from the day-to-day role within school. It has served as a timely reminder of the vocation to Catholic leadership and puts Christ back at the centre of all we do.

"I am very grateful for the opportunity to have been part of the NCLP and I am sure that is has enhanced my leadership capabilities and deepened my understanding of what it means to lead within a Catholic school. I wholeheartedly recommend this program to my fellow Catholic leaders."

St Josephs Cathedral Primary SchoolSt Joseph’s is a voluntary aided Catholic primary school in the Archdiocese of Cardiff-Menevia, with around 500 pupils, 45% of whom have English as an additional language (EAL). 

Recognising the school’s efforts to welcome children from refugee and asylum seeker families, St Joseph’s became the city’s first Primary School of Sanctuary and was presented with the award by the Lord Mayor of Swansea. 

The journey began through the Lead Creative School initiative funded by the Welsh Government and Welsh Arts Council, which saw the pupils exploring 19th century Irish immigration to Wales. St Joseph’s Cathedral was built in order to provide for the faith of these new arrivals. 

Pupils’ artwork, including a sanctuary sculpture and song, were displayed in the Swansea Museum, Swansea University’s Taliesin Arts Centre, the Tate Modern in London, and in the Senedd. 

Previously, refugee parents would ask the headteacher how to access services and support, and with around 30 pupils from asylum seeker families eventually advice from the City of Sanctuary charity was sought. A dedicated Sanctuary Lead Teacher was appointed, staff were trained, and the governing body pledged support for School of Sanctuary status with annual progress reviews. 

St Joseph’s has developed EAL classes and offered volunteering opportunities to parents from asylum seeker and EAL backgrounds. Many of those who participated have gone on to gain refugee status and continued working in schools or entered training.   

The theme of sanctuary is woven into the curriculum, with class books and reading materials highlighting the issue, and pupils have explored refugee camps in Lebanon using virtual reality headsets. The school’s Enterprise Week activities also involve fundraising for charities including City of Sanctuary.

Additional support is provided for pupils with EAL and from asylum seeker backgrounds, such as laptops and class resources translated into their home languages. A Young Interpreters scheme sees fellow pupils trained and supervised by staff to act as a ‘buddy’ through the school day.

St Joseph’s pupils have also exhibited their School of Sanctuary class work in other schools, to help encourage more participation in the scheme. Following its successful Estyn inspection in February 2022, the school was asked to share good practice in creating a culture of inclusion that supports pupils’ well-being, encourages positive attitudes to learning and secures progress and achievement for all. 

The Bishop’s Conference of England and Wales last year published Love The Stranger, a set of guiding principles to inform a Catholic response to the issue of refugees and migrants.

LTU business ethics conference jpgHosted online on 13 September, Leeds Trinity University, one of four Catholic universities in England, brought together students, staff, academics, corporate sector business leaders and advocates for ethical leadership to discuss the values needed for a better global future.  

The discourse was rich and varied, ranging from how business can remain competitive without making profits more important than people, and to articulate why values still matter in today’s marketplace.

Jonathan Liu (pictured, second from right), Vice-Principal at London Churchill College, and author and lecturer Paul Palmarozza (pictured, right) highlighted that business can be done credibly while being mindful of respect for diversity, the human person, and dignity. This should also include key principles such as integrity, transparency and respect for cultural competencies needed to engage with a global world of business.

Dr Ann Marie Mealey (pictured, second from left), Director for Catholic Mission at Leeds Trinity University, stressed the need to revise subject benchmarks for business, to drive a deeper engagement for students across all levels of study beyond just acknowledging ethics in business. She said what is needed is a willingness on behalf of each and every person to study and to choose to be a certain kind of person. This will involve the need to develop values and virtues that guide decisions in business life and attest more deeply to the mission and purpose of the Catholic university, which is to promote the ‘authentic good of individuals and of human society as a whole’ (Ex Corde Ecclesiae, 7). 

She also showed examples of how High Learning Pay Off Assessments could be designed by lecturers to use in class and enable students to consider real world dilemmas in business they might face in future. 

Professor Charles Egbu (pictured, left), Vice-Chancellor of Leeds Trinity University, facilitated a discussion on how we might design and implement an ethical business strategy for Catholic universities today. Dr Neil Hawkes, Global advocate for ethical leadership and founder of the International Values-based Education Trust (IVET Foundation), joined from New Zealand to provide insights on global leadership which he has shared as a delegate at the United Nations. Leeds Trinity’s first Vice-Chancellor, Professor Freda Bridge, also participated in the debate.

The conference was led and organised by Dr Mealey, and supported administratively by the newly appointed Project Officer for the Directorate of Catholic Mission, Ms Sapna Chowdhury. 

Dr Mealey said: “We were really delighted about the level of the discussions that were had across a range of subject disciplines, faiths, and perspectives. There was a natural convergence regarding the need for people to freely choose to be a certain kind of person and to develop the virtues needed for a better business future overall.  

“We were sad that many of our delegates from the Philippines were unable to join us as they had been hit by a typhoon on the morning of the conference which affected their power supply. But it was a great reminder to us to stand in solidarity with the entire world and find other ways of sharing information, especially to colleagues in our Catholic schools in the global south as we are one human family in search of truth in every age. 

“As the Pope reminded everyone during his recent visit to KU Leuven, Catholic universities must not be ‘cathedrals in the desert’ but a critical space that dares to think.”

Columbans competition crop 1The Columban Missionaries in Britain have launched their 2024/25 Schools Media Competition, which has the title Jubilee: Pilgrims of Hope.

Encouraging creativity and faith engagement with issues in the world today, this year’s competition welcomes both written and image entries until 7 February, 2025, with winners being announced on 10 March. Cash prizes will be awarded to the winning entrants and the first prize is an impressive £300!

High-profile judges from the world of journalism have been secured and winning entries will be published in the Columbans’ Far East magazine, Vocation for Justice newsletter, Columban websites in Ireland and Britain, Columban social media and in other Catholic media. The Columbans are delighted that Ruth Gledhill of The Tablet and Jo Siedlecka of Independent Catholic News, are among the judges in Britain.

The competition is targeted at students aged between 13-18 years old. Pope Francis has decreed that 2025 will be a year of Jubilee. The theme he has chosen is ‘Pilgrims of Hope’ and he urges us to look for signs of hope in the world around us and work for peace and justice. “May the Jubilee be an opportunity to be renewed in hope,” he says.

Young people are invited to highlight one community or group bringing hope in the world today. This might be one they are part of or one that inspires them. The community/group chosen should act in some way for the common good, responding to the Cry of the Earth and the Cry of the poor (Laudato Si’ #49).

In his role as Columban Justice and Peace Education Worker in Britain, James Trewby visits young people in schools and sixth forms and runs workshops, retreats and assemblies to promote justice, peace and the integrity of creation. He said: “I’m delighted that the Columban Schools Media Competition this year focuses on the theme of Jubilee, linking into the Jubilee Year in 2025 declared by Pope Francis. The Columbans are keen to nurture the student voice and provide an opportunity for young people to explore positive initiatives on the theme.”

A core aspect of Columban mission is justice, peace and ecology. The biblical Jubilee Year occurred every 50 years and involved the cancelling of debts, a period of rest for people and the Earth, and land being restored to landless communities. Poor and vulnerable communities were given the opportunity for a fresh start on a more equal footing, and that need is there in today’s world. Internationally, Columban Missionaries support inspirational communities assisting migrants and asylum seekers, caring for the environment, and calling for Jubilee debt cancellation.

Students will find the Columban Competition website an essential resource. It includes information on the theme of Jubilee and Pilgrimage plus examples of Columban projects and inspirational communities. There are also details on submission of entries and a helpful FAQ page. The website provides material suitable for students, teachers and parents.

This is the eighth annual Columban Schools Media Competition. Past themes have focused on migrants, climate change, throwaway culture, racism, 21st century changemakers, peacemaking and biodiversity.
