Year 13 CERN Trip: Day 3 Beautiful weather meant a perfect day for exploring the old part of Geneva. After watching the 140m high fountain start up, and the students predictably getting soaked again, they had free time for some cultural immersion and souvenir shopping. The students have been impeccably behaved and a delight to be with.

Year 13 CERN Trip 2024: Day 2 A wonderful day in Geneva with an excellent tour of CERN. A particular highlight was the Antimatter Factory where our knowledge of Year 12 Physics helped us to understand a set of truly cutting-edge antimatter experiments. We finished the day with fondue, yodeling, an eclectic range of traditional Swiss instrument, and a walk back to the hostel along the twinkling lake shoreline.

Year 13 CERN Trip 2024: Day 1 We have arrived safely in Geneva and, following a brief trip to the lake, we headed to the UN building. The students had an inordinate amount of fun in the new fountains and may have been a little damp for dinner! Early start for Day 2 as we head to CERN.

St Mary’s Catholic High School / 25 Sep

On Tuesday, members of Year 12 learned about the various clubs, societies and responsibility groups available to them in Sixth Form, as they attended the annual Inauro Fair. Members of these groups from Year 13 were on hand to promote the opportunities available to our new students. From Geography to Debate, Linguistics to Law Society, Medsoc, Student Parliament and more, there was plenty on offer for the year ahead. We know Year 12 will grasp these opportunities and continue to take each group on to new strengths in the future.

St Mary’s Catholic High School / 22 Aug

We are extremely proud of our outgoing Year 11 students, after achieving exceptional GCSE results today. Spirits were high this morning as grades were opened with smiles, as students celebrated a great number of individual achievments alongside parents and staff. Our year 11 students are now progressing to the next stage of their education, and we wish them every success.

St Mary’s Catholic High School / 15 Aug

The Staff and Governors of St Mary's would like to congratulate the Year 13 Class of 2024 on their hard-earned results at A Level and BTEC. We're proud to be an inclusive school, and we are delighted with the successes you have achieved today. 26 students achieved three or more grades at, or equivalent to, A* or A and the vast majority of students who applied to university have already secured a place at one of their chosen institutions. Students have gone on to competitive apprenticeships and conservatoires, too. Each and every student should be immensely proud of their own, personal achievements. We wish you all the very best with your next steps, and cannot wait to see what the future has in store for you all.

We celebrated the end of the school year with Mass this morning. The behaviour of our pupils was outstanding and they participated fully. We would like to thank the Chaplaincy & Music Departments for preparing our Masses, and Father Adrian for celebrating them with us. The flowers used for the bouquets were taken from our beautiful gardens around school. As the summer holiday begins, we would thank our parents/carers for their support throughout this year. We have had another magnificent year at St. Mary's and wish our pupils a safe, happy and enjoyable summer. We are looking forward to welcoming pupils back in September.

Mrs Cutts (Maths Teacher) is retiring this Summer, following 14 years of outstanding teaching in the Maths department. We wish her a long and happy retirement and thank her for her wonderful service to St Mary’s. May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
