Sports Days 2026

Sports Day Fun is on the Way! We are buzzing with excitement as Sports Days are just around the corner! This is always one of the highlights of the school year – full of energy, smiles, and a little bit of friendly competition. Let the Games Begin! Our pupils have been practising, preparing, and getting ready to shine, and now it’s their time to show off their skills. Key Dates to Remember: P4 – P7 Sports Day: Thursday 21st May P1 – P3 Sports Day: Friday 22nd May From sprint races to team challenges, there will be something for everyone to enjoy. Whether it's cheering from the sidelines or racing to the finish line, we know these days will be full of memorable moments. Calling All Cheer Squads! We would love to welcome parents and carers along to support the children. Your encouragement makes a huge difference and helps create that fantastic Sports Day atmosphere we all love. Don’t forget your biggest cheers, brightest smiles, and maybe even a picnic blanket. It’s All About Fun! While there may be a bit of competition, the most important thing is taking part, trying our best, and having fun together as a school community. Let the countdown begin… we can’t wait to see everyone there!

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...
