Wishing our entire school community a very Happy Easter. We hope you enjoy a peaceful and refreshing break surrounded by friends and family. This is a special time to rest, reflect, and celebrate together, and we hope the holiday brings joy, laughter, and plenty of meaningful moments for you and your loved ones. Thank you for your ongoing support throughout the term. We look forward to welcoming everyone back renewed, recharged, and ready for the exciting final term ahead. Warmest Easter wishes to you all.

For Parents

It is only through visiting us that you will truly realise how we live our school moto "Learn to Love, Love to Learn"

For Pupils

Our pupils love St Mary's on the Hill because there are lots of opportunities to succeed. Pupils have lots of friends and enjoy being welcomed every morning.

Curriculum

Our curriculum promotes children's self-esteem by concentrating on activities and learning experiences which encourage confidence, curiosity and creativity.

St. Mary's on the Hill

St. Mary’s on the Hill is a Catholic maintained, co-educational primary school, where the child is at the centre of everything we do. We are a happy, caring school that works in partnership with all our parents and the parish community to ensure that our children make the most of their potential in academic, religious and personal development.

“The children are welcoming, considerate and respectful to one another and to adults. There is a notable maturity in the children’s attitude to learning and they exemplify very well the aspiration behind the school’s motto:”

Learn to love, love to learn...
