Today, our Year 5 and 6 girls football team proudly represented the school at the Catholic Schools Football Rally. They faced three strong teams in the league stage of the tournament. After a tough start with a narrow loss in their first match, the girls showed great determination and team spirit, bouncing back to draw their next two games.
Despite not progressing beyond the group stage, the team should be incredibly proud of their performance. They played with energy, teamwork, and a fantastic attitude from start to finish.
As part of the day, the girls also had the exciting opportunity to get up close to the official Premier League trophies for both the men’s and women’s competitions. They also took on the speed shot challenge, testing their power and accuracy in a fun and competitive setting.
It was a brilliant day of football, filled with great memories and moments of pride—well done to all involved!

We had a fantastic morning celebrating all things Irish at our St Patrick’s Day Coffee Morning kindly organised by All Souls’ PTA. Saint Patrick is the class Saint for our Year 5 children and they took part in hosting the morning by performing songs and acting out the story of the life of St Patrick.
We were incredibly grateful to be joined by local musicians Jarlath Mulhern and Fiona Hoey from the Comhaltas and The Wild Mountain boys, who treated us to a live performance of Irish music throughout the morning. It was wonderful to welcome Jarlath back to All Souls as he spent his school days here. Once an All Souls boy, always an All Souls boy!
Following the musicians came a spectacular performance from the Mary McHugh School of Irish Dance. Mary teaches weekly dancing lessons at the school and pupils from Year 2 up to Year 6 put on a fantastic display for their lively audience.
The morning ended with closing prayers of the faithful, read by the Year 5 children, as we prayed for St Patrick to guide us and reflected on all those in need or suffering during this time of Lent.
A special thank you to the Coventry Irish Society for attending and supporting the event throughout and for offering their support to the Irish community across the city. Also, to our very own Mrs Edge who designed the leaflets and co-ordinated with the Irish Society and many of the artists to enable them to join us on the day.
Thank you to all parents, grand-parents and carers who baked cakes to help raise money for the school on the day and for everyone who donated to the raffle. To the Year 5 children for their St Patrick’s day performance and for helping with cake and raffle sales and representing the school so well, Mr Youson for supporting with the lights and sound and Miss McGaffney, Miss Brady, Mrs Smith, Mrs Cannon for keeping the Irish coffees flowing on the day!
A very special thank you to Mary O’Malley and Rob Hunter for their hard work in organizing the entire event and leading on the morning, it takes a lot of time and care to co-ordinate such an event and your commitment is hugely appreciated. Thank you to all of the members of the PTA who helped in planning the day and for helping out selling raffle tickets, decorating the hall, manning the cake and coffee stalls – all of these things made the event the success that it was.
Above all – thank you to everyone who attended. The PTA were very pleased with how the morning went and the monies raised for the school. We hope you all enjoyed it too! Here are some more photos of everyone who managed to join us on this special day:
We wish you all a Happy St Patrick’s Day!
On Tuesday, eight Year 6 students took part in the County Finals indoor rowing competition, going up against 15 other top schools from Solihull, Coventry, and Warwickshire. They gave it their all and put in an amazing performance, even though they didn’t take the win this time. Huge well done to both the boys’ and girls’ teams—you smashed it!
Last Wednesday, ten Year 3 children competed in a gymnastics competition, showing off their amazing skills! They each performed a vault and a floor routine, which they’ve been working hard on with Miss Jade over the past few weeks. And all that practice paid off—the judges were seriously impressed! They scored an incredible 47.2 out of 50 on the floor and 49 out of 50 on the vault.
We’re still waiting for the overall results, but we’ll let you know as soon as we hear. A huge well done to everyone—you were absolutely brilliant!
