St Mary’s Catholic High School / 5 Dec

We can proudly share the news that St. Mary's has been named as the Comprehensive School of the Year for the East Midlands 2026 by The Sunday Times. This is an extraordinary achievement for our school, and acknowledges the culture of inclusivity that is at the heart of our school, enabling young people to flourish within our Catholic ethos. The school will feature in the printed copy of The Sunday Times this weekend, and the following link gives further information about the award: School league tables 2026: the best UK secondary schools revealed. https://www.thetimes.com/best-schools-league-table/secondary/article/secondary-schools-revealed-2026-g9w9n8rqw A letter from Mrs Dengate has been sent to all our parents and carers this morning. https://stmarysschool.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/lettershome/Award-Letter-5-December-2025.pdf?t=1764927909

We are pleased to invite you to the forthcoming Service of Carols and Readings, which will be held on Tuesday 9th December at 6.00pm in the Church of St Mary and All Saints, Chesterfield. Owing to the increased number of pupils participating in this years’ service, and in view of the exceptionally high demand for seats in previous years, it has been necessary to restrict ticket allocations to two per family. This will enable us to ensure the safety and comfort of both those performing, and members of the congregation. Tickets are free of charge and may be obtained through Ticket Source. Please search for 'St Mary's Catholic High School' on Ticket Source events and select 'Festival of Readings and Carols' to book your tickets. Thank you.
