Headteacher’s Newsletter – 30th January 2026

Dear Parents/carers,

Eco Warriors

Mrs Pike has started a new mission within St. Mary’s with our newly appointed Eco Warriors.

Learning Vision at St. Mary’s

Thank you to all those parents who completed the google form on Parentmail about our school vision. Let’s see if we can get every family family responding. We’ve had 34 responses so far and everyone is very happy to support the school. Thank you for your comments as well – your feedback is very useful.

Wrap Around Care

Night Owls is a place to have fun and relax. If you would like to access our holiday club, please add your child to ParentMail. The link for February half term will close next Friday. We are so looking forward to it. Lots of pancake making; a pancake race; arts and crafts; sports and that all important movie afternoon.

Super sewing

Cross-stitch eggs sewn beautifully by our creative crafters.

Joining a club, learning a new skill and making new friends is such a good way to spend an hour, after
school, on a Tuesday afternoon.

Get Ready for a Friday Treat!
