Wednesday 16 July 2025 Year 3&4 Borough Sports So close to the end of term, but we still had one event to go. As this event was cancelled last year, it was the first time any of the children had taken part. A bit of a change to Sports Day as they were running on grass but this didn't cause our team any problems.The children ran superbly throughout the whole afternoon and the encouragement between them all was so lovely to see. As it was a two heat event we had to wait for the final results to hear how we had done…it was worth waiting for!!Year 3 Sprint 3rd 🥉Year 4 Sprint 2nd 🥈 & 1st 🥇Year 3 mixed relay 3rd 🥉Year 4 mixed relay 2nd 🥈Year 3 Girl's relay 2nd 🥈Year 4 Girl's relay 3rd 🥉Year 4 Boy's relay 1st 🥇 🏆This is a fantastic set of results and a lovely collection of medals.Once the points from all the races were added together, we waited to hear where we had come overall.A huge well done to the whole team as we got 2nd place and were presente

Monday 19 May 2025 Wondermaths This morning, 5 children set off to take part in the heats of a London wide ‘Wondermaths’ competition. ‘Wondermaths’ involves a series of maths based puzzles, problems, and games. 🧩Over the past few months, our team has been practising the games weekly, and today was the day to put our skills to the test against 7 other local schools.After 4 brain-busting rounds, working as a team and also going head-to-head against competitors from other schools, it was time for the results. With the winning team being awarded the coveted invite to the grand final in July, tension began to build. After a dramatic drum roll, the winning team was… St Cecilia’s! 🥳This means we have made it to the grand final, as part of the top 8 schools in London! A huge well done to the team, including all who have been taking part during our lunch time sessions. Let’s keep it up and see how we get on in July!💪

Friday 9 May 2025 Borough Cup v St Dunstan's This afternoon was the quarter-final match in this cup. The girls were strong and determined from the start and just did not stop. By half time, unfortunately, we were 3-0 down but they did not let their heads drop and stayed focused.Throughout the game, Niamh made some outstanding saves and without her the scoreline could have been very different. With 5 minutes to go, Paisley was able to score from a penalty and this gave us a chance to get the much needed goals. Sadly, we just couldn’t get past their strong defence and the game ended 3-1 to them.That match concludes the girls’ season and what a season it has been. It has been great to have a girls’ team back at the school and watch how they have progressed. For the Year 6 girls, I wish you luck in your sporting ventures at your next schools. For Year 5, I look forward to next season where I’m sure you will continue to grow.Thank you to the parents for your support with getting the children to

Another great performance to show how far you have come as a team this year.

Friday 22 November 2024 Trust Chaplaincy Day Yesterday, our school Chaplaincy Team went to the Sacred Heart Parish Hall to meet ten other faith teams from local primary and secondary Catholic schools across the Sancta Familia Trust area. Each school presented information about their school saint and we spent time learning about the lives of the saints and thinking about what inspires us about them. We played some games, got to meet and chat other children and then joined together for a shared liturgy. The children had a great time and were excellent ambassadors for St. Cecilia's. We hope this is the start of many more opportunities like this where we can come together with other schools.

Friday 15 November 2024 Netball v Cheam Common Today our teams faced Cheam Common for their second match.Both games were tough and Cheam Common got ahead fairly quickly. When your behind in a match it's very easy to give up and I'm proud to say that I saw the complete opposite from our players today. They gave it their all right up until the final whistle. The score lines don't reflect the effort, hardwork and team spirit they showed so we won't worry about them. On to the next game boys and girls.

Tuesday 12 November 2024 Football Match v St Elphege's From the start of the match, it was clear that this was going to be a tough match. Our defence worked tirelessly throughout the first half to help to prevent them from scoring, although there were a few near misses. Shane was able to find the back of the net first and the first half finished 1-0.It was that kind of match where I voiced that we needed 3 or 4 more goals to be safe, which is just what the second half provided. Daniel scored another hat trick, including an outstanding goal from a free kick. Shane scored our final goal in the last minutes of the game.The game finished 5-0 and was another superb performance from the whole team. Well done boys, onto the next round you go!
