St Mary's Church of England School
Nurturing Creative Thinkers

As Lent begins in our half term at St. Mary’s, may we lean into the "Rhythms of Life." For our Christian community, this is a time to "Draw Near" through spiritual habits and compassion. For our wider school family, it is a wonderful opportunity for all of us—regardless of faith—to pause and reflect on the habits that shape our lives. This Lent, we’re focusing on: Life-giving Habits: Finding rhythms that bring us energy and peace. Kind Encounters: Being truly present with one another. Active Compassion: Turning our reflections into positive action for others. Whether you are observing Lent or simply joining in a season of mindfulness, we invite you to find your own rhythm of reflection and renewal. #StMarysSchool #Lent2026 #RhythmsOfLife #DrawNear #MindfulHabits Community Reflection Compassion

Celebrating Shrove Tuesday is always a highlight of the year. Wishing all our pupils and their families a wonderful time of pancakes and reflection as we prepare our hearts for the reflective period of Lent. #StMarysPrimary #PancakeDay #ShroveTuesday #ChurchSchool

Ramadan Mubarak. As the holy month of Ramadan begins, we wish our Muslim friends, families, and members of the community a month filled with peace, reflection, and joy. ​Ramadan is a time for community, gratitude, and thinking of others—values we hold dear here at St Mary’s. May this month bring you and your loved ones many blessings. ​#RamadanMubarak #StMarysCommunity #Ramadan2026 #Inclusion #CommunitySpirit PeaceAndBlessings

Wishing you a happy half term.
