Mayoral Visit to St Mary’s Catholic Primary School

The Mayor and Mayoress had the pleasure of visiting St Mary’s Catholic Primary School.

They were warmly welcomed by Headteacher Mr. Paul Phillips, who spoke about the school’s achievements and some of the challenges facing schools today. He also gave them a tour, where they had the chance to meet pupils and see learning in action.

The children were polite, enthusiastic, and clearly engaged in their learning, both inside and outside the classroom.

A real highlight was meeting the Year 6 pupils, who are busy preparing for their upcoming enterprise event, working in teams to develop their own products, which they’ll be selling at the event. The Mayor and Mayoress were very impressed by the children’s creativity, confidence, and teamwork.

A big thank you to Mr. Phillips, the staff, and all the pupils for such a warm welcome. The Mayor and Mayoress wish Year 6 the best of luck with their event and hope everyone enjoys a well-deserved summer break!
