Coming from an wide range of primary schools, our pupils soon settle down to become members of the St.Edmund Arrowsmith community and adapt to the different demands and challenges of secondary school life. It helps that many families have long-standing relationships with the school and so are well- versed in our Catholic ethos and high academic expectations. Wearing their distinctive green blazers, we always say that our pupils are the best ambassadors for our school and we can rely on them to 'tell it how it is' to all visitors who pass through our doors. Luckily, we always get a good report! ### Student Life - [High School Musical Jr](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/student-life/high-school-musical-jr) - [Music Festival (1st Night)](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/student-life/music-festival-1st-night) - [Music Festival (2nd Night)](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/student-life/music-festival-2nd-night) - [Paris (Disney Trip) 2026](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/student-life/paris-disney-trip-2026) - [New York 2026](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/student-life/new-york-2026) - [Enrichment and Extracurricular ](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/student-life/Enrichment-and-Extracurricular) - [Senior Prefect Team](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/student-life/senior-prefect-team) - [Pastoral](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/students/pastoral) - [Remote Learning](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/remote-learning) - [School Council](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/student-life/student-council) - [Reward and Sanctions ](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/student-life/rewards-and-sanctions) - [Careers Guidance ](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/curriculum/careers) - [The School Day](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/our-school/the-school-day) - [Revision Tips](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/student-life/revision-tips) ### [Latest News](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/news) [![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 Year 7 Take Part in an Engaging Theatre Workshop](https://files.schudio.com/stedmundarrowsmith/imagecache/150x150c/news/IMG_5935.jpg)](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/news/2026-11-09-year-7-take-part-in-an-engaging-theatre-workshop) #### [Year 7 Take Part in an Engaging Theatre Workshop](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/news/2026-11-09-year-7-take-part-in-an-engaging-theatre-workshop) 9 November 2026 [![Image of Former St Edmund Arrowsmith Pupil Inspires Young Reporters](https://files.schudio.com/stedmundarrowsmith/imagecache/150x150c/news/IMG_5873.jpg)](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/news/2026-11-09-former-st-edmund-arrowsmith-pupil-inspires-young-reporters) #### [Former St Edmund Arrowsmith Pupil Inspires Young Reporters](https://www.arrowsmith.wigan.sch.uk/news/2026-11-09-former-st-edmund-arrowsmith-pupil-inspires-young-reporters) 9 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.
