At Christian Union today we looked at the miracles of Jesus and considered how they show God's power over life, death and the natural world. We made some awesome models too!!!

Today we came together as a whole-school community at @OldhamParish to enjoy two wonderful Christmas Carol Services. Huge thanks to Fr. Daniel, Rev. Hannah and our amazing Chaplaincy team for making the services so special. Almost there now, one more day to go! #proudtobeblue

Yesterday students arrived at @FoodbankOldham to deliver all the donations made as part of our Advent Challenge. Nobody in our community should have to go hungry, so we hope our contributions will bring some joy and happiness to families across Oldham. #faithinaction

Hello! We will be hosting something special at @OldhamParish for young people (see details below). You are guaranteed pizza, problem solving, praise and prayer. Get ready to go on a journey! @ManchesterDYO @DbeManchester @OADeanery

Year 9 pupils attended St Thomas' Church to help them with their "Experience Christmas" event. They supported the Church and staff by helping the children experience the biblical account of Christmas. It was a lovely event, particularly as Rev Hannah was dressed as an angel!! 👼

We have had 3 wonderful Advent Communions this week on the theme of HOPE. Huge thanks to all those who contributed to making it such a special occasion, and we hope our prayers bring comfort to those who need them. #faithinaction #proudtobeblue

Pupils had lots of fun playing Swordfish in today's Christian Union. As we begin to prepare for Advent, pupils raced to find prophetic Bible verses in the Old Testament telling us of the birth of Jesus. It was a close contest but in the end, the winning team won by just 1 point!

On Monday, 140 beautifully presented boxes were collected as part of @OCC_UK, and they are now making their way to young children across Europe. We feel certain that each box will bring love, joy and light into the life of a child this Christmas. #proudtobeblue #faithinaction

MC3 Youth Gathering @OADeanery is happening again!!! We're going to have fun, get creative and eat Pizza of course. Details below ⬇️⬇️⬇️ @ManchesterDYO @MDGFTEAM

Such a lovely way to finish the school year. Worshipping together as a school community. (Jesus said) “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit."

Today was our final Christian Union before the summer holidays. We wrote our hopes and fears on the prayer tree and prayed for each other. It's been such a blessing meeting together each week this school year. Wishing all staff and pupils a safe and happy summer.

What a wonderful Founder's Day Celebration! Many thanks to @RevRLP for an inspirational sermon on "Coming Home", and huge congratulations to @BCOldhamMusic's amazing choir and band who never cease to amaze me with their depth of talent! #neverbeenproudertobeblue #anotheryeardone

We had a wonderful morning at Manchester Cathedral celebrating the ordination of ex @BCOldham teacher Mrs Rutherford. We wish her every blessing from the Blue Coat Chaplaincy team.

5,000 children and staff attended Year 6 leavers services at @ManCathedral to celebrate all that children have achieved in their primary schools and to look forward to their futures as they prepare for the move to secondary school 🎉✝️🙏 Read more about the service:

Thanks to @DbeManchester for the invite to speak at the services today. It was amazing to see the Cathedral full of year 6 children singing, dancing and celebrating.

Earlier this week our Year 7 pupils, together with @BrianClarkeAcad and @StJohnsThornham pupils, took part in our annual Faith Day, where they explored the different world faiths, discussed 'green’ faith views and created some wonderful artwork. #collectivefaithinaction

We have enjoyed a wonderful, interactive afternoon at @OldhamParish joining @BCOldham in their faith day service. Thank you for the lovely welcome :) #community #faith

Adventurers have enjoyed a world faith day at Blue Coat School exploring different ‘green’ faith views about stewardship and responsibility towards a green future based on beliefs on creation. They have created art, mandalas, played games and a collective worship at Oldham Parish

Wishing all our staff, pupils and their families a happy and joyful Easter! The Lord has risen, Alleluia!!

Next week our Year 7 pupils will take part in The Big Plastic Count and they'll count every piece of plastic that's thrown away at home. Our young people have the power to make a real difference and help shape the future of the planet, so lets get counting and lets make a change!
