Work together; Succeed together
At St Mary’s, we believe that a true sense of belonging is the foundation for success. Every student is valued, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential. We foster a welcoming and inclusive community where everyone feels respected, safe, and empowered to contribute. Our shared values and strong relationships create an environment where students grow in confidence, develop lasting friendships, and take pride in being part of the St Mary’s family.
St Mary's Catholic College welcomes all families who support our values. Our school is rooted in Catholic values which permeate all aspects of work and relationships. Our Chapel is at the heart of the school, placing Christ at the centre of everything that we do. St Mary's Catholic College is a community of service guiding young people on a path to opportunity, aspiration and reward, founded on Catholic values.
We encourage all our students to enrich their learning with extra-curricular activities. We currently offer: Athletics, Badminton, Basketball, Bible Club, Boxing, Breakfast Club, Chess Club, Choir, Debate Team, Duke of Edinburgh, Fitness, Football, Homework Club, House Drama, Judo, Maths Club, Music Lessons, Netball, Rugby, Sixth Form Study, Spoken Word, STEM Group (Science), Table Tennis and Trampoline.
St Mary's Catholic College, Literacy is at the heart of everything we do. We therefore offer students a wide range of stimulating ways to develop their ability to speak, read and write effectively. From a well-stocked Library to a range of high-quality interventions and our very own School Poet, we strive to help our students to gain Literacy skills that will enable them to thrive throughout their lives.
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.
Last Tuesday, the Dance Department took a group of talented dancers to perform at the Wirral Dance Festival at the Floral Pavilion. What another fantastic opportunity to showcase their skills and technique on a professional stage! Our dancers did themselves and St Mary’s proud, performing with confidence, professionalism, and incredible energy throughout. The Dance Department is extremely proud of every single performer, and especially our Year 11 dancers, who took to the stage for the last time representing St Mary’s.
Thank you for your commitment, passion, and dedication over the years. You have been fantastic role models and have left a lasting legacy within the department.
Well done to all of you - you absolutely smashed it! 💃🕺⭐️

⛳️🏆Year 10 WJEC Sport Reward Trip! ⛳️🏆
Today, our Year 10 WJEC Sport students enjoyed a fantastic reward trip to Hype Footgolf in New Brighton! This trip recognised their outstanding attitude to learning throughout the academic year and celebrated the excellent effort they have put into their coursework. Every student has either achieved their target grade or is currently performing above it - an achievement they should all be incredibly proud of.
The day was filled with great competition, teamwork and plenty of laughs, with every student demonstrating excellent pride, determination and sportsmanship from start to finish.
To round off the day, it all came down to a dramatic play-off between Mr Caul and Mr Everall to crown the PE staff champion, with all of the students gathered to cheer them on!
A brilliant day and a well-deserved reward for a fantastic group of students. Well done, Year 10 - we’re incredibly proud of you! #RewardTrip #WJECSport #Teamwork #Determination #Pride Success Footgolf WellDoneYear10

🌟 Theme of the Week: Be Strong 🌟 This week we reflect on the theme Be Strong. In this week’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us that following Him takes courage and faith. True strength isn’t about power, but about trusting God, showing kindness, and doing the right thing even when it’s difficult. Let’s be strong in our faith, our actions, and the way we care for one another. #BeStrong #SMCCFamily #FaithInAction #Respect #Pride
