Today we paid tribute and attended the funeral of Bernadette Kent who was a former Foundation Governor for many years at St Mary’s. As well as being a governor, over the years, she came in to school to pray the Rosary with many pupils. Her claim to fame though must be her Irish coffees at the Parish Christmas fayre. RIP Bernadette. 🙏

Aspiration Dress Up Day - Thank you!

Our recent Aspiration Day (suggested by our school council) was filled with excitement and inspiration as children came to school dressed as their future selves! From doctors and engineers to artists, teachers and astronauts, the creativity and ambition on display were truly wonderful. The day encouraged pupils to dream big, talk about their goals and celebrate the many possibilities ahead. It was a joyful reminder that every aspiration begins with belief, effort and imagination.

A huge thank you to members of our school community who visited lots of different classes! We had visits from;

Firefighter Michael
PCSO Trudy
Nurse Laura
Author Charlene
Social Worker Sophie
Business Owner Wayne
Probation Officer Hayley
National Highways Traffic Officer Joe
Accountant Lindsey
We are so grateful to them all for the time they spent inspiring the children at St Mary's.

Here are just a few of the many photographs that staff took that day!

🌿 May Procession Thanks 🌿

Thank you to all our families who donated bedding plants for our prayer garden. With your support, it is now beautifully in bloom.

Our Head and Deputy pupils led the May Procession and Crowning of Our Lady with such reverence, making the celebration truly special.

Beach life. We’ve had a blast!

Paddling and donkey rides.

Year 6 have arrived at Weston Super Mare. The sun will hopefully join us soon.

Last week, we were devastated to find out that one of our much-loved lunchtime supervisors (and mum to two of our children) - Katy Gibbons - suddenly passed away. All staff, parents and children were informed last week and, as a school community, we are grieving. Katy was a wonderful colleague and friend, and an amazing mum. If you can support the family in any way, we would really appreciate it🥰🙏🏻
