FOREWORD
As you will see from the detail of this report, St. Mary’s continued to thrive throughout the 2015/16 school year. Academic excellence was, once again, evident in examination results and the diversity of the learning experiences afforded to pupils was apparent in the vast range of extra-curricular and enrichment opportunities in which pupils and staff were engaged. Such activities, which included sport, music, drama, travel, volunteering and student leadership, to name but a few, were enjoyed by pupils and contributed so much to the personal growth and rounded development of our young people.
Perhaps, one of the most exciting developments of the year was the beginning of construction work on site as part of the School Enhancement Programme. Aware that we are “building for the future”, we have watched with great anticipation as the £4.5 million school extension has taken shape in recent months. We look forward to the completion of this work in 2017 and the state-of-the-art facilities that the pupils of today and tomorrow will enjoy as a result of this investment.
As always, I wish to pay tribute to every member of staff – teaching and teaching support – for the immeasurable contribution they have made to the life and work of the school in the last year. I also wish to express my gratitude to you - the parents/guardians of our pupils - for your interest in and support of the school throughout the year.
Should you wish to discuss any issue arising from the contents of this Annual Report, please do not hesitate to contact me at the school between 8.30am-4.30pm.
