Our girls' team have also been invited to take part in the schools league that exists outside London, in partnership with the NFL's Chicago Bears which is an absolutely incredible opportunity. We wish to thank Martin Richards from Tech Source for sponsoring the training and match day kits for the team branded with the 'Mount Carmel Saints' logo. **** [![](https://files.schudio.com/mountcarmelhigh/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/american-flag-football/IMG_7053.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/mountcarmelhigh/images/gallery/american-flag-football/IMG_7053.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/mountcarmelhigh/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/american-flag-football/IMG_7037.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/mountcarmelhigh/images/gallery/american-flag-football/IMG_7037.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/mountcarmelhigh/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/american-flag-football/IMG_7065.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/mountcarmelhigh/images/gallery/american-flag-football/IMG_7065.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/mountcarmelhigh/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/american-flag-football/IMG_7050.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/mountcarmelhigh/images/gallery/american-flag-football/IMG_7050.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/mountcarmelhigh/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/american-flag-football/IMG_7045.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/mountcarmelhigh/images/gallery/american-flag-football/IMG_7045.JPG) [extra-curricular](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/tag/extra-curricular) [TeamMC](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/tag/teammc) [P.E.](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [sport](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/tag/sport) [ CHARM Awards final](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/2024-03-22-charm-awards-final) [Food Pantry donations ](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/2024-03-28-food-pantry-donations) ### School Life - [Calendar](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/calendar) - [Careers and Aspirations](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/tag/raising-aspirations) - [Catholic Life of the school](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/tag/catholic-life-of-the-school) - [Chaplaincy](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/school-life/chaplaincy) - [Charity](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/tag/charity) - [Community](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/tag/community) - [ECO Activities](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/tag/eco) - [Educational visits](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/tag/educationalvisits) - [Extra curricular activities](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/tag/extra-curricular) - [Lettings](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/school-life/lettings) - [News](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news) - [Partnership activities & events](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/tag/primarypartnerships) - [Pastoral Care](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/tag/pastoral-care) - [Productions/shows](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/productions-shows) - [Pupil Leadership](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/tag/pupil-leadership) - [Rewards](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/tag/rewards) - [TeamMC](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/tag/teammc) ![Mount Carmel Roman Catholic High School](https://files.schudio.com/mountcarmelhigh/images/logo/Mount-carmel-LOGO_(3).png) #### Mount Carmel Roman Catholic High School Wordsworth Rd Accrington Lancashire BB5 0LU 01254 233458 #### Useful Links - [6 to 7 transition](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/parent-pupils/6-to-7-transition) - [Admissions](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/information/admissions) - [Contact us](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/contact) - Department pages - [Diocese Inspections](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/information/diocese-inspection-reports) - [Exam Information](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/parent-pupils/exam-information) - [Facility lettings](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/school-life/lettings) #### Useful links - [Letters home](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/tag/letters-home) - [Ofsted Inspections](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/information/inspection-reports) - [Safeguarding](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/information/safeguarding) - [Staff](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/about-us/staff) - [Statutory Information](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/information) - [Term Dates](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/termdates) - [Vacancies](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/job-vacancies) #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/MountCarmelHigh/) - [X](https://twitter.com/mountcarmelhigh?lang=en) © Copyright 2018–2026 Mount Carmel Roman Catholic High School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
