As we reach the end of another wonderful school year, I would like to wish all of our children and families a happy, safe and restful summer. We hope you enjoy lots of fun and special family time. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in September refreshed, ready to learn and excited for the year ahead. Have a fantastic summer break! ☀️📚🌟

For Y6
As our Year 6 children leave St Mary’s, we send them our love, prayers and very best wishes for the next stage of their journey. We hope they leave us not only with the knowledge and skills to succeed, but also with the faith, kindness and values to make a positive difference in the world. Go forward with confidence, keep Christ at the centre of your lives, and never stop learning. We are very proud of you all. 🌟🙏
