We know the pupils don’t sleep much the night before they come to pick up their results, but when they collect their results, those nerves turn to relief and beaming smiles! It was an amazing day and lovely to see pupils, staff and parents mingling together celebrating a fabulous set of results. Mr Dumican commented 'I've enjoyed speaking to the pupils and parents so much this morning, it reminds me yet again how amazingly talented our pupils are and we are so lucky to have such supportive parents. After the last 2 years school has been very different for this year group, with huge interruptions, but the way they have come through it to achieve fabulous results is simply magnificent, I could not be any prouder of them!' We wish them every success in the future and remind them that ‘you never really leave Eddies’! Please keep in touch with us and let us know all the wonderful things you will go on to achieve. We are always here to provide help and support if needed, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch. #### **Class of 2022 we salute you!** .![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8720.jpg) ![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8701.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8699.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8706.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8823.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8762.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8729.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8791.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8765.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8721.jpg) ![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8788.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8854.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/Robert_Morris.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8844.jpg) ![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8695.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8783.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8883.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8891.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8832.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8809.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8803.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8796.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8865.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8760.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8757.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8755.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8747.jpg)![](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/images/news/DSC_8741.jpg) [ Channel 4 - 1 in 7 Billion Winners ](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/news/2022-07-27-channel-4-1-in-7-billion-winners) [ SUMMER SCHOOL SMILES ](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/news/2022-08-31-summer-school-smiles) ### Our School - [Headteacher's Welcome](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/our-school/welcome) - [Mission Statement](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/our-school/mission-statement) - [Staff](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/our-school/staff) - [Latest News](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/news) - [Family Handbook](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/our-school/family-handbook) - [Climate Change Action Plan 2025-26](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/our-school/climate-action-plan-2025-26) - [Governors](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/our-school/welcome/governors) - [Examination Results and School Performance ](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/our-school/results) - [Primary Transition ](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/our-school/primary-transition) - [Job Vacancies](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/job-vacancies) - [Train to Teach Here ](http://catholicsd.org.uk) - [International Partnership](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/our-school/international-partnership) - [Alumni](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/our-school/alumni) ### [Latest News](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/news) [![Image of Y8 Football Success!](https://files.schudio.com/stedmundarrowsmith/imagecache/150x150c/news/Y8_football_team(1).png)](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/news/2026-11-12-y8-football-success) #### [Y8 Football Success!](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/news/2026-11-12-y8-football-success) 12 November 2026 [![Image of Y10 Rugby Team Success!](https://files.schudio.com/stedmundarrowsmith/imagecache/150x150c/news/Y10_rugby_team.png)](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/news/2026-11-11-y10-rugby-team-success) #### [Y10 Rugby Team Success!](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/news/2026-11-11-y10-rugby-team-success) 11 November 2026 [![Image of St Edmund Arrowsmith Remembers](https://files.schudio.com/stedmundarrowsmith/imagecache/150x150c/news/IMG_6001.jpg)](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/news/2026-11-11-st-edmund-arrowsmith-remembers) #### [St Edmund Arrowsmith Remembers](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/news/2026-11-11-st-edmund-arrowsmith-remembers) 11 November 2026 ![St Edmund Arrowsmith Catholic High School](https://files.schudio.com/stedmundarrowsmith/images/logo/Citrix-Logo-Large.png) ### Contact Us **St Edmund Arrowsmith Catholic High School** Rookery Avenue Ashton-in-Makerfield.
