Holy Communion 2026

This week we celebrate a very special occasion in our school community as our Primary 4 pupils receive the Sacrament of First Holy Communion. Over the past number of weeks and months, the children have shown great dedication and enthusiasm in their preparation, learning about the significance of this important step in their faith journey. We are incredibly proud of their commitment, reverence, and growing understanding. As they reach this meaningful milestone, we ask that you keep all of our pupils in your thoughts and prayers, that their day is filled with joy, peace, and a deep sense of God's presence.

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...
