Headteacher’s Newsletter – 19th December 2025

Dear Parents/Carers,

What a great final week we’ve had to the term. With parties galore, a Christmas lunch that made us all smile and a Church service that showed us all what a great school we are and a school that I am so proud to be part of. Thank you to everyone that contributes to making St. Mary’s the great place it truly is!

Christmas Service

The children performed beautifully in our Christmas Service, which told the Christmas story through song.
Thank you, Mrs Taylor and Mrs English, for organising this and to the teachers, parents and Church members who eagerly support us – the Church was packed!

Christmas Lunch

A lovely lunch was had with crackers and laughter. We also thanked our volunteers with a lunch afterwards. Thank you to Natalie and Raquel in the kitchen.
