ST MARY’S CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL

EDUCATING STUDENTS OF ALL BELIEFS, DRIVEN

BY TRADITIONAL CATHOLIC VALUES "Leaders expect all pupils to achieve highly" - Ofsted, 2021

St Mary's Catholic High School takes great pride in the opening comment of its recent Ofsted inspection (Nov 2021), which stated that: “St Mary’s Catholic High School is a deeply caring community. Its pupils and staff live up to their core values of being welcoming, serving others, and working hard.”

The school provides an environment in which students and staff are challenged to achieve their full potential - intellectually, socially and spiritually. In partnership with the home and the church community, our school strives to instil a respect for the dignity of others as well as a sense of one’s own personal worth.

As a Catholic school, St Mary’s has well established links with local parishes and Catholic primary schools, but most importantly it welcomes applications for children of all faiths.

Founded in 1851, St Mary's Catholic High School is an 11-16, co-educational comprehensive, and is one of the oldest Catholic state schools in the country. With just 8 students on its very first day, the school now has an unbroken record of service in educating generations of families from the local, and now global, community.

The school prides itself on its diverse and harmonious community, where students feel safe and well cared for, with leaders who expect all to achieve highly, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and speakers of other languages who are beginning to learn English.

Our core values of WELCOME, HARD WORK & SERVICE helped deliver the school's best ever GCSE results in 2022.

INSPIRING STUDENTS TO DO THEIR BEST “A deeply caring community” - Ofsted, 2021

St Mary's Catholic High School provides a high standard of academic education, with students achieving above their expected targets levels and progressing to post-16 education. Many students then go on to higher education, including Oxbridge and Russell Group universities.

From high academic standards to excellent behaviour; aspirational goals and strong traditional Catholic ethos; the school offers an education that treats our students as individuals, teaches them respect for themselves and each other, and encourages them to emerge into the wider world as well-educated, well-rounded, ambitious and confident young adults.

Whilst examination outcomes are important, we recognise that there is more to school. The school’s curriculum is therefore broad and balanced, offering students the opportunity to participate in a wide range of enrichment and extra-curricular activities, including the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. These aim to boost confidence to interact socially with others and help build new skills and abilities. Above all, they offer an important space to have fun and relax away from the pressures of formal schoolwork.

Everything we do at St Mary’s is underpinned by our Christian faith and our belief in equality of opportunity for all
