Read MoreNo waffling from our Year 9s!
Published 20/07/23Our Year 9 pupils were hoping not to waffle when they took part in the annual Warburtons Project!
The pupils were in their forms and were given the task of developing a new product for the bakers.
This included researching it, thinking about ingredients, the packaging, the price and considering their profit margins, as well as the environmental impact and nutritional factors.
They then presented their project to a panel of judges, including representatives from Warburtons and local business leaders.
Bosco were the winners with their varied waffles – including chocolate chip, fruit and strawberry flavours.
Goretti were the runners-up with ‘Cronusts’ – a half donut, half croissant product.
“The project is part of the Skills Builder Programme we deliver in school, helping pupils to develop their employability skills ready for the future,” said Careers Leader Mrs Hart.
Read MoreSergeant Erin
Published 20/07/23Year 10 Erin could soon be on the Burnley beat as she gains the qualifications to hopefully join the police force.
Erin has just become a Sergeant in the Police Cadets.
“I started around two years ago and go every Tuesday to the cadets.
“We learn about different roles in the police and every week there is a different topic.
“I have just sat my Sergeant test for the cadets. It was tough as I had to apply, write an application and then have an interview. Quite a lot of people applied but I felt I had done ok in the interview.
“I was happy to become a Sergeant and now I will have my own table to lead, so I will lead around six-eight cadets.
“My interest in the police came about as my dad became a PCSO and I enjoyed hearing all his stories and I decided that’s what I wanted to do. He is very proud of me being made a Sergeant.”

“I go twice a week and have been gliding and flying is brilliant. You watch Top Gun, fly a light aircraft, then go back to Top Gun, what’s not to like?!

Read MoreArt Competition
Published 17/07/23Blessed Trinity pupils came second in an art competition run by Lancashire County Council during Refugee Week in June.
The theme of the week was ‘Compassion’ and pupils from the county were invited to join a project in creating a Lancashire poster inspired by this theme
Lancashire County Council’s Education Improvement-Equality and Diversity Consultant and Teacher Izabela Zalewska-Ratajczak said: “We had a record number of entries this year -132! 10 schools took part this year.
“Voting was anonymous and Blessed Trinity pupils won second place in the category for high school students.
“The choice was difficult but we thought that their words and images expressed in the poster captured understanding of the need for compassion very well.”
Pupils will receive certificates and a small token for their efforts from Lancashire County Council in September.
