Work together; Succeed together
These core values have very much been created by all members of our school community. Respect, Courage and Pride came through as Values that staff feel are important to define us a community, Students overwhelmingly selected the term Determination and parents very much suggested Compassion as a core value.
Courage
Courage is about stepping out of our comfort zones and facing challenges with confidence. It means speaking up for what is right, taking risks in our learning, and being resilient when faced with setbacks.

🎾 Day 2 of 3 — another busy and rewarding day for our PE department!
🗣️ The morning saw six of our students attend a Leadership Course at BPS — an excellent opportunity to develop key skills ahead of their PE course next year. This reflects our commitment to embedding leadership across our curriculum.
🌟 In the afternoon, we wrapped up our final six tennis sessions at Wallasey Manor. The coaches were full of praise for our students’ outstanding behaviour and attitude — a true credit to SMCC. We’re incredibly proud of how they represented the school!

Change of Venue - New Brighton Arts Festival - Sing Wirral Event
We are writing to inform you of an important change to the arrangements for your child’s performance at Sing Wirral, taking place today.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the event will now take place at Fort Perch Rock in New Brighton, instead of the originally planned Floral Pavilion. Please be assured that all other arrangements remain the same.
This week six of our Year 7 students (all boys) represented SMCC at the finals of TNCC 2025, held at the Barbican Theatre in London. Schools from all over the country took part and, from fifty thousand participants, less than one thousand made it through.
The team was tasked with creating their own `sustainable town` and `Eco Brighton` came to life. Wind turbines and a hydrogen energy terminal featured in their innovative approach to creating clean energy. Although they didn`t win, the judges commented on the `incredible energy` in the room. This was an invaluable experience in team building and communication: one that they can build on in the future.
⚽ What an exciting week of PE events at St Mary`s!
Day1 : A special shout-out to our Year 7 A vs B team football fixture, which showcased fantastic teamwork, sportsmanship, and school spirit. 🙌
🎉 Congratulations to the B team on their impressive 3–1 victory, with goals from Kai Towns and Kye Smith! Both teams played with Pride, Courage, and Commitment - values which have shone through all year. 🌟
👏 Huge thanks to Mr Everall and Mr Brough for their tireless work in promoting our core values through sport. Your dedication makes a real difference! #TeamStMarys #Year7Football #PEExcellence #StMarysSpirit
