Welcome Back to St Mary’s! 🌟 We are delighted to welcome all our children and families back to St Mary’s for what promises to be another exciting school year. A particularly warm welcome to all our new families and to our new members of staff. A few important updates as we begin the new term: 🏗️ Building Works The building project is nearing completion, with the new completion date currently set for 30 September 2026. The school remains a construction site, so please take extra care when entering and leaving the school. The Lower Hall remains out of use and the completed section of the Ground Floor Hall is being used as our dining hall. School lunches will continue as normal. 🚪 Drop-off & Collection Morning drop-off arrangements remain unchanged. At the end of the day: Years 1, 2 & 3: collection from the main KS1 playground. Years 4, 5 & 6: collection from the KS2 playground via the EYFS gate. If you have younger children, please collect them first to help reduce congestion. Please wait for the class teacher to see you and hand your child over safely rather than calling them out of the line. EYFS children will use the EYFS gates for drop-off and collection during their morning-only sessions. ⏰ Please be on time Your support with punctuality is particularly important while the building works continue, allowing us to close the gates safely and ensure the works can progress smoothly. 📅 Important Dates The school calendar has been updated on the school app and website, so please check regularly for upcoming events and dates. 🏃 PE PE lessons begin next week. PE days will be communicated to you by the end of this week. Finally, please check that we have your correct contact details. If anything has changed, please contact the school office. We are really looking forward to welcoming everyone back and wish you all a very happy and successful school year! 🌟

We hope you are having a lovely summer break, just a quick message to say: 🏆 WE’VE RETAINED OUR PLATINUM SCHOOL GAMES MARK! 🏆 We are incredibly proud to announce that St Mary’s Primary School has retained its Platinum School Games Mark! This fantastic achievement recognises our continued commitment to sport, physical activity and competition, ensuring that our children have opportunities to participate, develop their skills and enjoy being active. From our whole-school sporting events and inter-school competitions to inspiring children through major sporting events, we are passionate about creating a culture where every child can get involved and achieve their best. A huge thank you to our staff, children and families for helping make this possible. We are so proud of our sporting community!
