Catholic Social Teaching in Action

Mini Vinnies

The Mini Vinnies are a group of 16 children from KS2 who help lead the school in small and big acts of charity and kindness.  Look out for our new members of September 2024!

Our Members:

Y6: Beatrice, Leo, William, James, Roseanne Y5: Seth, Lauren, Eden, Kacper

Y4: River, Ivy, Arthur, Polly Y3: Olivia, Oliver, Max, Sammy

What do Mini Vinnies do?

The Mini Vinnies work hard to embody our school mission, as well as the Pupil Profile Virtues and Catholic Social Teaching.  They work in the school, parish, local and global community to make our world a better place – living and acting in the way that Jesus taught us to, to fulfill their God-given vocation.

Last year the Mini Vinnies led the Trussell Trust Food Bank harvest collection, as well as reading and singing in the local care home and visiting St Michael’s Church in Wolverhampton as part of our Good Shepherd Mass.

Look out for what we get up to this year!
