Please Help Us to Keep St Mary's Covid Secure
In September 2021 we hope to return to a routine timetable and school organisation but we ask that everyone continues to remain vigilant and follows current government guidance. Should we need to re-introduce any of of the Covid restrictions used previously we will notify parents/carers and continue to post useful information on this webpage.

Children under 18 who are close contacts of a positive case DO NOT need to isloate, so they can attend school.
