Well done to Hayley in 8A who is the first person in the history of St Paul's to have attained her Apprenticeship level at PiXL Edge.

The Year 12 RE group attended a day at Oscott College with Miss McCann for the Youth Synod called by Pope Francis, where they were able to discuss their faith and experiences with other young people from across the Archdiocese of Birmingham. 

Dear parents,

As many of our girls use public transport we would like you to share this guidance with them.

The Governors of Catholic schools are responsible for convening appeals hearings if requested by a parent or carer who is refused admission to their school. The Birmingham Diocesan Education Service recruits and trains individuals to sit on appeals for Catholic schools within the Diocese and is currently inviting applications from individuals who would like to volunteer for this service.

The appeals panel service is an essential and valued service on which schools rely in order to organise independent appeals hearings. Each individual appeal, on average, takes between 20 minutes and half an hour (although some can be shorter or longer than this depending on its complexity). Schools may sometimes only have a single appeal and so the time commitment for sitting on such an appeal panel would be short. However, many schools, usually during the summer term, have multiple appeals lodged and so organise full days to hear a number of appeals consecutively. This can sometimes require a panel member to commit to sitting on an appeal for two or, very occasionally, three days. Where there are a number of appeals for one school, the same panel must hear all of the appeals. However, panel members are free to decide their own availability and it would be entirely your own decision whether to agree to sit on a particular school’s panel or not once you are aware of the time commitment involved.
