Greenfingers Day – A Warm Welcome to Our New P1 Pupils

We are delighted to be welcoming all of our new Primary 1 pupils to school next week for a very special Greenfingers Day. This exciting occasion is designed to help our youngest learners feel happy, confident, and settled as they begin their school journey with us. During the day, the children will have the opportunity to meet our friendly staff, explore their new school environment, and take part in a hands-on planting activity. Each child will plant their very own sunflower, marking the beginning of a lovely project they can continue at home over the summer months. As they look after their sunflower and watch it grow, we hope this experience will encourage responsibility, curiosity, and a love of learning through nature. We are looking forward to lots of smiles, muddy hands, and the start of many exciting memories. We can’t wait to meet all our new P1 pupils and begin this next chapter together.

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...
