St Mary’s Principal, Mrs. Siobhan Kelly, expressed her pride in the success of the pupils and their teachers. “These are extremely good results and reflect the hard work and commitment of our pupils towards their studies. Our boys have been helped throughout their time in St. Mary’s by our dedicated teachers and their supportive parents. In St, Mary’s we value this partnership, supporting the boys towards their chosen pathway. The school is delighted that all of the hard work has been rewarded and today we can celebrate examination success together. I wish our A Level pupils every blessing in the future as they begin the next part of their educational journey. I also wish to pay tribute to this group of outgoing Year 14 pupils who made a huge contribution to the life of the school and the wider community, I have no doubt they will now go on to great success in their universities and employment”.
