The catholic life and mission of the school weaves throughout our school life and we hope that by spending time in our school, and looking at our website, you will feel the mission of St Mary’s.
Laudato Si and Fratelli Tutti are both important messages from Pope Francis which we aim to spread, and embed within, our pupils.
Laudetto Si, a letter from Pope Francis, is about caring for our common home. Watch the video clip to find out more.
Fratelli Tutti is a letter written by Pope Francis to everyone, asking us all to reach out to our sisters and brothers in need, whoever they are and wherever they may come from. We are all challenged to think of ourselves as a single gloval family living in a common home, neighbours to all. The video clip tells you more about his message.

Following Boris Johnson’s 8pm announcement we now know that as of midnight tonight the country has entered a new period of Lockdown, a Lockdown that includes the closure of school.
School will be open for the children of Key Workers and for pupils who are deemed vulnerable. All pupils will be provided with work in order for them to keep learning.
Tonight’s announcement was very short notice for you as parents and also for us as a Staff. Tomorrow, by 11am there will be three tasks on the school website for each Class to complete as their Tuesday learning. However, School will be closed to ALL pupils tomorrow.
Staff, however, will be in school preparing for the rest of the Lockdown. Through tomorrow we will prepare school to make it safe for Key worker pupils and vulnerable children to return.
We will send out a form for you to apply for a place in the Keyworker Bubbles and we will let you know more about how children will be learning remotely. We will do our very best to re-open to Key Worker children and vulnerable pupils by Wednesday.
I am aware of how difficult this is for you all, School closing creates a multitude of problems for everyone but data surrounding this awful disease dictates that this is a necessary step. As ever, the safety and health of everyone must be a priority.
Thank you for your continued support and we will be in frequent contact over the next few days.
Many thanks
