FAITH
Our pupils experience daily prayer & worship- Salford Diocese inspection graded us ‘outstanding’ in our Welcome, Welfare & Witness.

- Enrichments to the curriculum include subject specific visits as well as team building residential trips to a wide range of places including Lockerbie in Scotland, Spain and Holland.
Thank you to our brilliant pupils and their families who donated an incredible £1,386.55 during our non uniform day. This money will be sent to support our current nominated charities which are St. Patrick’s School in Kenya, The Hope Orphanage in Cambodia and Roughlee Care Home in Accrington. We will also donate as planned to the Charlie appeal and send our love and prayers to his family at this very sad time.
A four day trip to Poland is taking place at the beginning of the half term break for 60 Mount Carmel pupils. Today they have had an early start setting off to Auschwitz.
Rewards assemblies have taken place all week for all year groups. Today was Year 7's turn with tubs of chocolates, certificates, vouchers for The Jumpworks, fast track lunch passes and special 'golden movie tickets' being handed out. Well done to all who have received rewards.
Mrs Lowe's Head of Year Award was presented to Emily in 7E who Mrs Lowe described as a 'perfect' pupil who had full attendance, brilliant punctuality, amazing behaviour and has fully immersed herself in Mount Carmel life.
Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles are welcome to attend assemblies. Pictured here with Emily is her Mum and pictured with Jack is his mum and Grandad.
Mount Carmel R.C. High School presented a cheque for £2,356.18 to Fr. Stamp and representatives from St. Joseph’s Parish Accrington, Martin Daly and Martin Cain.
The Parish has been fundraising for St. Patrick’s Secondary School in Kenya for a couple of years and has already sent donations to the school in Kenya to help them build a classroom. Current fundraising is going towards the building of a desperately needed school kitchen.
Mount Carmel set a target to raise £2,000 within a year towards the kitchen project and having exceeded this amount presented the cheque. Fundraising however will continue over the academic year with a non-uniform day planned before the half term break and a sponsored 10k run by Mount Carmel Headteacher Mr Bowers and English teacher Mrs Bowers.
To sponsor Mr and Mrs Bowers in the Accrington 10k run on 28th October or to donate to the project contact St. Joseph’s Parish or Mount Carmel R.C. High School.
