HFCS students attended Flame 2025, the largest Catholic youth event in England and Wales, held at the OVO Arena Wembley on Saturday, 15 March 2025. They were joined by the Parish of Mary Mother of God, Bradford, and Leeds Youth Service. Well done to all who attended the event!

Today, during assembly, our Year 7 students received their very own copy of The New Testament, generously gifted by Gideons International. This incredible charity spreads faith by sharing God’s Word, offering free Bibles to those who need them. Thank you for being here today.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mums who inspire, support, and shape our students every day!

Wishing all members of our school and wider community who are celebrating Eid-al-Fitr over the coming days a blessed and joyous time. ☪️

Year 9 took part in a fantastic road safety event yesterday. We had representatives from the emergency services in school looking at the dangers and how to minimise the risk. Thank you to everyone who helped make this a success. 👏

Across all year groups this week we walked with and remembered Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross. The liturgy was led by students for students with great confidence and courage. It was a perfect end to the liturgical term as we head towards easter and Jesus’ resurrection.

We have finished a busy half term with Achievement Assemblies for all year groups. Plenty of chocolate and rewards have been given out. We hope you all have a restful break and we look forward to welcoming you back on Tuesday 22nd April.

The palm leaves once waved in praise are now shaped into crosses, symbolising the road to Calvary. Palm Sunday begins the final period of Lent as we head towards the Tridium, the services commemorating Jesus’ death and celebrating his resurrection.

Pope Francis died on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88 at his residence in the Vatican's Casa Santa Marta. At 9:45 AM on Easter Monday, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Apostolic, spoke these words at the Casa Santa Marta: May he rest in eternal peace.

Today, as the Holy Father is laid to rest, we join the world in mourning and prayer. May his soul rest in peace and rejoice in the arms of our Heavenly Father. Thank you, Pope Francis, for your faithful service.

Today we celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday, a reminder of the endless love and forgiveness flowing from the heart of Jesus. No matter how great our sins, his mercy is greater. Let us trust in his mercy, seek his forgiveness, and share his love with the world. ‘Jesus, I trust in You!’

We had the pleasure of hosting Yr5 students from St Anne’s, St Joseph’s and OLV over the last week as part of our transition links. The Yr5 students had a Retreat Day and a Discovery Day where they had different challenges to think about and had a taster of different lessons.

Today some of our students have been on a PSHE trip to Bradford Tribunal Courts. Our students asked Judge Cox some insightful questions before taking part in a mock trial based on a real case involving cyber bullying and harassment. Well done to all involved 👏

Today our Yr8 have commenced an exciting PSHE project with First Give. Students celebrated their strengths by giving out tokens to show what they appreciate about each other; encouraging reflection about what we want to be known for and how our reputation comes from our actions.

🚨 Important date for your diary!! Please join us for this fantastic event!!
