PE KIT – Thursday 22nd June

ALL CHILDREN – SPORTS DAY PRACTICE

Can ALL children come in to school on Thursday in school PE kits as we are going to have a practice run of sports day.

We are having to change some things as the racing track on the field cannot be used. Due to the weather this has created some significant dips in the grass and it is too dangerous, following our risk assessment, to use. We will plot out an alternate track somewhere else. Any questions please ask your child’s teacher.

OUT NOW: Our new Catholic Schools Inspection Report

…pupils and staff treat one another respectfully, and leaders work tirelessly to include everyone in activities. Staff are good role models to their pupils. They confidently demonstrate Christian behaviours and attitudes because of the head teacher’s model discipleship. Pupils feel loved; they speak eloquently about the care adults show them in school and how it makes them feel.

Inspection report, St Mary’s Catholic Primary School, 18-19 May 2023

We are pleased to share with you the results of our latest Catholic Schools Inspectorate visit. As a Catholic school, in addition to Ofsted inspections, we are also subject to Catholic Schools Inspections (formerly called Section 48 inspections). Our grade judgement continues to be “GOOD”.
