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.
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.

🌟 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
✨ A Night to Remember ✨
On Friday evening, we celebrated our incredible Year 13 students at their Prom. It was a fantastic night filled with laughter, dancing and memories that will last a lifetime.
It was wonderful to see everyone dressed so elegantly as they marked the end of their time at St Mary’s and celebrated all they have achieved. We are incredibly proud of each and every one of you and wish you every success as you take your next steps.
Thank you to everyone who helped make the evening so special.
Good luck, Year 13 – we can’t wait to celebrate with you again on Results Day! 💙
