2024 has been a remarkable year for our St. Mary’s community. As ever, we thank our parents and carers for their continued support of our school. It is through the relationship between school, home and parish that our pupils thrive and flourish.
We wish our entire school community a happy and holy Christmas and look forward to welcoming our pupils back on Monday 6 January 2025.
Christmas Reflection
“When the song of the angels is stilled, when the star in the sky is gone, when the kings and princes are home, when the shepherds are back with the flocks, then the work of Christmas begins: To find the lost, to heal those broken in spirit, to feed the hungry, to release the oppressed, to rebuild the nations, to bring peace among all peoples, to make a little music with the heart. And to radiate the Light of Christ, every day, in every way, in all that we do and in all that we say. Then the work of Christmas begins.”

"I really loved my two years studying Applied Science. Through the assignments I learnt transferable skills that I'm now using at university, both in scientific practices and writing analytically. The teachers went above and beyond to support my learning. I achieved a double Distinction and now I'm studying Biomedical Science at Northumbria University." Helena - BTEC Applied Science 2020-22
