Catholic Schools Week 2026
Catholic Schools Week 2026 will take place from 18–24 January, and this year’s theme is “Catholic Schools – Normal Lives, Called to Holiness.”
This theme reminds us that we don’t need to do anything extraordinary to live holy lives — we simply try to show love, kindness and faith in the everyday moments of life.
Inspired by the example of Saint Carlo Acutis, Pope Francis encourages us to remember that holiness is for everyone. Saint Carlo was an ordinary young person who loved his family, enjoyed his friends, worked hard at school and used his interest in computers creatively — all while keeping his faith at the centre of his life.
Throughout Catholic Schools Week, pupils will explore how we can all live with faith and love in the ordinary things we do each day. Each day will have a special focus, supported by prayer, reflection, classroom activities and community involvement.
As a school community, we look forward to celebrating how our everyday actions — when done with care, kindness and faith — help us grow closer to God and one another.
