Sadly, at the end of term we said our fond farewells to all Year 6 pupils who go onto secondary education. We celebrated with a Leaver's Mass and all the pupils were awarded with a farewell gift. Many thanks to all Year 6 parents and carers, and to Mrs Woodhouse for organising such a beautiful service. A special thank you to the School's PTA for assisting with the lovely gifts. We also said a very fond farewell to our wonderful Parish Priest - Father Alex. This was the last Mass for Father to say at St. Mary's - it was an emotional goodbye. All the children had made and presented special Farewell cards. We wish Father Alex (and Otto) a very happy time in his next Church in Stratford-upon-Avon and thank him immensely for being with us at St. Mary's - he will always be a special person in our lives. We welcome our new Parish Priest who we will meet in the new term. more...
