🎉Booster Treat for Y6 🎉
After the fantastic attendance at SATs Booster Club, our Year 6 children definitely deserved a treat! 💙
A huge thank you to Adv4nce Group for hosting an action-packed morning full of inflatable fun, including an assault course, bouncy castle and penalty shootout. The excitement didn’t stop there because we also enjoyed an epic whole-year-group dodgeball tournament! 🏃♂️⚽
We are so grateful to Adv4nce for giving our children such a brilliant reward for all their hard work and commitment.

🌑 Year 5 & 6 Take Part in Black Out Day! 🌑
Today, our Year 5 and 6 students took part in Black Out Day, a special event where they put all technology aside – no iPads, no interactive boards and no digital devices of any kind! The purpose of the day was to give our children a chance to experience learning and creativity without relying on screens, encouraging collaboration, imagination, and hands-on problem solving.
It was wonderful to see the children engaging in activities, working together, and having fun in new ways. By the end of the day, many of the students said that they hadn’t missed the technology at all and had thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
A big well done to all our Year 5 and 6 learners for embracing the challenge! 👏

🇬🇧✨ Year 6 had a fascinating history lesson today thanks to Olivia, who shared some incredible family artefacts from both World Wars, including her ancestors’ medals!
She told us about her great-great-great-grandad, who served in the First World War, and her great-great-grandad, who served in the Second World War, helping to bring our learning to life.

Today, the children celebrated the Feast of St. Rita by attending Mass together. It was a lovely opportunity for the children to come together in prayer and reflection as we reflected on the life of St. Rita and her example of faith, kindness and perseverance.
The children were respectful and reverent throughout the service and represented our school beautifully. ✝️

💙☀️ A well-earned celebration for our amazing Year 6 children after all of their hard work during SATs week! ☀️💙
The day began with a special breakfast club and the arrival of the sought-after leavers’ hoodies before heading to the Brampton for a day full of games, dancing, snacks and lots of laughter. It was so lovely to see the children relaxing, celebrating together and making more special memories before the end of their final year at St Mary’s.
We are all so proud of the resilience, determination and positivity they have shown throughout the week. They truly deserved every minute of fun! 💙✨
