We pray for the soul of Summa Watson, who has passed away. Summa taught at St Mary's and was a valued member of the Design and Technology department. As a community, we will hold Summa's children and family in our thoughts and prayers at this time.

Mr Thomson, Mrs Arthur and Mrs Donnelly are taking on the challenge of the Great North Run to raise money for Ashgate Hospice. As we know, this is a vital charity that provides compassionate care and support for people with life-limiting illnesses and their families. To help make a real difference they are hoping for donations, no matter how small, to support the hospice’s invaluable services and keep all their beds open. https://www.justgiving.com/page/teachers-1?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=EM

Our wonderful Year 11 pupils came together on Friday 18 June to celebrate the end of their time at St Mary's Catholic High School, and the end of the GCSE exam period. The students had a wonderful evening, creating lasting memories together. The students looked amazing, and arrived in style too! It was an absolute pleasure to spend the evening with them, they should be extremely proud of themselves.

The family of Pam Barber have asked us to share the details of her funeral service which will take place at Chesterfield Parish Church (the “Crooked Spire”) on Monday 29 June at 10.30 am. Please feel free to wear colourful clothing, or whatever you find comfortable. Family flowers only, please. However, donations to Ashgate Hospice would be very gratefully received. Everyone is warmly invited to join the us afterwards at Peak Edge Hotel (formerly the Red Lion), Darley Road, Stonedge, Chesterfield, S45 0LW - in the Oak Room - for refreshments and an opportunity to spend time together following the service. Immediate family will travel separately to the burial ceremony, but it would be lovely to see as many people as possible at Peak Edge. It will also give us the chance to personally thank everyone for the kindness, support and messages we have received over recent days. Thank you. Jonathan & Chris
