News from St Mary’s Academy
2022 was a busy and ‘back to normal’ year for St Mary’s. All staff and children have worked extremely hard and we are looking forward to a positive and even more successful 2023!
Highlights of the past year include our Year 4 Young Voices Concert at the O2, Queen’s Jubilee Afternoon Tea, whole school visit to Woburn Safari Park, Sports Day with parents! and our recent Poppy Pebble project to commemorate Remembrance Sunday.

We finished 2022 with our much anticipated Concerts entitled ‘Colours of Christmas’ . Considering these haven’t been done since 2019 the children did us proud as always and through donations from family and friends, we raised much needed funds for our chosen local Charity ‘The Need Project’ . We also thoroughly enjoyed Elf Day, our Christmas lunch, class parties and pantomime.
In January our Year 4 children will be participating in the 2023 Young Voices Concert involving over 6000 school children within the O2 London. This is such an exciting and fulfilling experience for them. There are also planned SMSA events including our Happy Bags pre-loved unwanted clothing appeal on Monday 9th January (donations from the community gladly accepted) and the ever popular ‘Break the Rules’ Day on Friday 13th!
We will continue to support the many charities that we do each year. We are part of a very generous and caring community and had a fantastic response to our collections last year which included Children in Need, The Royal British Legion, The Need Project, Save the Children and Comic Relief.
There has also been continued support for the SMSA fundraising events which all goes to benefit the children in school. Thank you to everyone as always.
Please remember you can still talk to us if you are applying for a place in our school for September 2023! The deadline for applications through Central Bedfordshire admissions is 15th January 2023 so there is still time to view our school with our Headteacher.
