Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome to our final half term! It’s already off to a busy start with trips, visits, and preparations for the Year 10 summer exams.

Our students and staff have arrived safely in Sorrento, and we send our best wishes to Year 9 for a cultural trip to Belgium. On Monday, our Executive and Senior Prefect team attended a leadership conference with fellow Edmund Rice schools – a great opportunity to grow their skills and explore the wider ER network.

You may have seen Mr A. Bridson’s letter announcing that, as of 1st June 2025, St Anselm’s College has officially joined the Laetare Catholic Multi-Academy Trust. We are excited about the journey ahead and the wider opportunities that this will bring for the College.

A huge congratulations to Mrs Beddard, Ms Monk, and Mr Diaz for being nominated for the ‘Listen to Me 2025’ awards, recognising adults who make a real difference in the lives of children in care and care leavers.

Well done to our recent Headteacher’s Award winners, who truly live out our Edmund Rice values:

• Thomas Wood 7J – Compassion for those in need
• Max Tomlinson 8R – Striving for Excellence
• Finley Murray 9B – Compassion for those in need
• Chimemelie Okeke 10B – Building a Christian Community

Thanks to your generosity, our minibus fund has reached an amazing £38,470.44, with another £5,000 on the way! We are now exploring options for one, or possibly even two, pre-loved minibuses. Every donation helps – please visit our fundraising page if you can contribute:

A quick note from FOSA – our Car Boot Sale is on Sunday 6th July. To book a space, email: lettings@st-anselms.com

Finally, please continue to keep our Year 11 and 13 students in your prayers as they study for their exams. The finish line is in sight.

Kind regards,
Mrs. Cubbin
