GCSE Results Day 2026
We’re really looking forward to welcoming students and families to collect GCSE results on Thursday 20th August between 9:00am and 11:00am. We are legally required to collect your destination information (e.g. sixth form, apprenticeship, employment). This is an important part of the process and may take a little time—thank you for your patience and cooperation.
We can’t wait to celebrate your achievements and support your next steps!

Congratulations to all our students celebrating excellent A Level and Level 3 results today, including an increase in the number of top grades achieved.

We are incredibly proud to be producing the future neuroscientists, mathematicians, lawyers, nurses, economists, physiotherapists, forensic scientists, sports journalists, teachers and many more.

A fantastic set of results and exciting futures ahead. Congratulations to our Class of 2026!

A Level Results Day

A Level Results will be available on Thursday 13th August, from 9:00am to 11:00am. These will be distributed in the main auditorium.

Results can only be handed to the student who took the exams, any results not collected by 11am will be put in the post first class.

We strongly encourage families to accompany students on results days to support them in finalising their next steps. The Careers Team will also be available on the day for any support and guidance.

Uniform update: students should wear their normal school uniform, with blazers optional from tomorrow. Thank you for your support.

🌍 Culture Day Reminder 🌍

Thursday 16th July 2026

With warm weather forecast for tomorrow, please ensure that any food brought in for our Culture Day celebrations can be safely kept at room temperature and does not require refrigeration or reheating.

All food must be accompanied by a full list of ingredients, with allergens clearly identified.

Thank you for your support. We look forward to celebrating the many cultures that make up our wonderful school community! 🎉🌎

On Friday, graduates from the Honours programme enjoyed ice creams and played board games to celebrate completing the enrichment programme. Well Done Honours students! 🌟

*Uniform Update*

Due to the warm weather ahead again this week; students may continue to choose to attend school in either normal school uniform without a blazer and tie or full STM PE kit. We will update parents again with an update when this changes.

Please note that alternative sportswear, branded gym wear, Nike Pro-style shorts or other non-school PE clothing are not permitted.

Students should continue to bring a refillable water bottle each day and make use of the water stations around school to remain hydrated.

Thank you for your continued support

Our students have had a fantastic time on their residential trip to Alton Castle! Thank you to Mr Barnett, Miss Hughes and Miss Reynolds for leading the trip.

Over the past few days they have thrown themselves into a wide range of exciting activities, including low ropes, crate stacking, survival challenges, team games, and of course, a very competitive water fight! They also had the opportunity to come together for Mass, taking time to reflect, pray and celebrate their faith as a community.

Throughout the trip, our students have shown resilience, teamwork, encouragement and enthusiasm, making the most of every opportunity.

We are incredibly proud of every one of our students and hope they return with lots of memories.

✨ A Night of Celebration and Achievement! ✨

Our Celebration Evening on Monday 6th July was a tremendous success, bringing together students, families, staff, and guests to celebrate excellence, dedication, and achievement.

The evening featured addresses from our Headteacher and keynote speaker Abigail Horne, musical performances from the Music Department, a message from our Student President, and the presentation of certificates and recognitions to our deserving students.

Congratulations to all award recipients and thank you to everyone who helped make the evening such a memorable occasion. Together, we celebrated the hard work, resilience, and success of our school community.

🌟 Well done to all our students – your achievements make us proud! 🌟

As part of our Culture Day celebrations this year, we are hoping to create a video celebrating the diversity of our school community. We are inviting students and families to share short video clips or photographs that celebrate their culture, heritage and traditions. This could include cultural dress, music, cooking, celebrations, language, family traditions or anything else that reflects your culture and identity.

Please send your contributions to [email protected] by Friday 10th July.

By submitting photos or videos, you are confirming that you are happy for them to be shared with the whole school and on the school's social media platforms.
