News from St Mary’s Academy

Our Spring Term was rounded off with the very successful SMSA rainbow raffle draw, a new fundraiser for us, with 20 winners each receiving an amazing and colourful hamper! All of our children also enjoyed an uplifting Easter Service at St Mary’s Church on the last day of term! Since then we have all had a lovely Easter holiday with plenty of chocolate!

May looks to be a very busy month for us, so welcome after restrictions of the last two years! Clubs have been very popular over the last two terms with a range of school run and external activities on offer. We have Tennis, Dance, Karate, Gymnastics, Spanish and Multi-Sports Clubs back starting in the Summer Term. Plus, we hope to organise an Athletics or Cricket Club too!

All years will take part in a fun skipping workshop on Thursday 5th May. On Friday 6th May most of our Year 4 children will be participating in the Young Voices Concert involving over 6000 school children within the O2 London. The St Mary’s School Association have the ever popular Sponsored Bounce event on Thursday 28th April, followed by two Film Nights split according to year groups, taking place on Thursday 5th and Thursday 12th May in the Academy Hall. Later in the month there is also the annual Parents V School event booked for Friday 27th May – Trainers and water bottles at the ready!

The recent SMSA Happy Bags Collection also raised much needed funds for the school. Currently we are raising money towards new IT equipment. We would encourage any members of our community to please help us with this initiative, even if they do not have children currently within St Mary’s. The Charity will take clean adult and children’s clothing, paired shoes or trainers, belts, hats, accessories and handbags. Our next collection is planned for Wednesday 22nd June. Upcoming events and details/photos of past events are always detailed on our website. Until our next instalment, please have a lovely May Half Term with the additional bank holiday to commemorate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee!
