Welcome to St. Mary’s

Mr Darren BeardsleyHeadteacher

The work of the school is the spiritual, moral, intellectual,aesthetic and physical development of each pupil.It seeks to put Christ at the centre of every activity,worship, learning and service to others.

I am delighted to introduce you to our school. It is an honour and privilege for me to serve the school as Headteacher. St. Mary’s has a successful past and continues to grow in excellence. Our aim is to develop even further to offer a ‘World Class Catholic Education’ by providing the best care, support and outcome for each individual student. As a Catholic school we make Christ known to all members of our extended community through the way we work and the way we act.

The values of honesty, humility, faithfulness, forgiveness, tolerance, service and truth are at the centre of our teaching and guidance. Our staff and Governors work together as a team, constantly seeking to improve, bring enthusiasm, commitment and enjoyment to every task. We share the common purpose of sending our students out into the world as happy, healthy and successful citizens of the future.

Please enjoy browsing through our Prospectus. Parents and carers are considered as much a part of St. Mary’s as their children. We place high value on effective, regular communication between our staff and parents and carers. I look forward to meeting you many times during your child’s journey through St. Mary’s.

St. Mary’sSixth Form

It is a pleasure for me to introduce our Sixth Form to you. We are a thriving community of nearly three hundred students and the sixth form team of six staff. Our students come to us both from our own year 11 and from a variety of other schools in the area.

The sixth form team is here to support each individual student at a crucial time in their life, one that is both exciting and challenging.

Our aim is to equip our students to take up their place in the world, whatever that may be, by providing an education rooted in Christian values.

We offer a wide range of level 3 courses that enable our students to progress to university, higher apprenticeships or employment. We seek to develop the attitudes and skills essential to success in 21st Century Britain through our teaching, enrichment opportunities and pastoral care, and by the information, advice and guidance we provide.

Above all we aim to create opportunities for all our students to succeed in whatever they do. We look forward to celebrating the success of every student.

Mrs A NorthAssistant HeadteacherDirector of Sixth Form(Acting)

Most students choose 3 A levels or level 3 vocational options, which is the requirement for most university courses. The option to choose a fourth A level (or a 1 year AS in a limited range of subjects) exists for those students who wish to apply for particularly competitive university courses, those who wish to keep their academic options open, or those who simply love learning a particular subject. The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is offered as an option to all students, because it helps to develop independent research and problem-solving skills that are highly prized by employers and universities. In all cases, students receive detailed individual advice on their course choices, and support with realising their next steps.

“The task of a teacher is not simply to impart information or to provide training in skills intended to deliver some economic benefit to society; education is not and must never be considered as purely utilitarian. It is about forming the human person, equipping him or her to live life to the full – in short it is about imparting wisdom.”Pope Benedict XVI

“Let us protect with love all that God has given us!”Pope Francis

OurCurriculum

Academic excellence is at the heart of what we do. We have a broad and balanced post-sixteen curriculum delivered by an experienced and highly-qualified teaching staff. A high level of challenge and support, along with inspiring teaching and learning, develops the knowledge, skills, values, confidence and motivation each student needs to succeed.

Preparing students for their next steps in life, whatever they may be, is the basis of our curriculum. We offer over 25 different level 3 subject qualifications which allow students to take up the widest possible range of university or career options. Students’ spiritual, moral and social development is fostered by a general religious education programme and tutorial lessons which offer individual support, advice and guidance.

Sixth FormDress CodeAs recognition of the Sixth Form students’ growing maturity and independence, our dress code is based upon business principles.

We believe that a business dress code will promote fairness and equality for both boys and girls in the Sixth Form as well as giving them a more adult image; the dress code strikes a balance between some degree of individuality whilst recognising the importance of setting an example to the younger members of the school community.

Business Dress Code

• Smart plain clothing and footwear appropriate for the workplace

• No jeans, leggings, denim or trainers/pumps

• Extremes of fashion or hairstyle that draw undue attention are not permitted. This applies to all items of clothing in school.

• Jewellery should be discreet and facial piercings are not permitted.

The school retains the right to act as the final authority in the interpretation of the dress code. Students who are dressed in an undignified manner and/or are in breach of the Dress Code will be sent home.

Parents and students are advised to contact the Director of Sixth Form or a member of the Sixth Form Team for clarification before purchasing an item.

Pastoral Carein the Sixth Form

Every student is assigned to a form group in Year 12 in the care of a Form Tutor. The tutor holds a key position in the life of St. Mary’s and is the first point of contact between home and school. Their primary responsibility is to monitor the welfare of each student to ensure their academic, social and spiritual development.

The tutor sees members of the form at the start of each day to establish and articulate clear expectations. Periodically tutors will review progress with each student and help them set targets. They also provide information, advice and guidance to enable them to participate fully in the opportunities offered in all areas of sixth form life.

Each year group has assigned to it an Assistant Director of Sixth Form who meets regularly with the Form Tutors to discuss individual student progress. They are supported by the work of the school’s Learning Mentors, Education and Welfare Officer and a non-teaching Pastoral Manager. A spirit of unity and co-operation is secured through whole year activities such as assemblies, residential visits and Liturgies.

The school places a high value on the triangular relationship between parent or carer, pupil and staff. Effective communication between parent and school is essential to ensure the safety, well-being, motivation and all round development of each child.

• The school maintains close links with the parishes and primary schools

• The weekly General Letter, termly newsletters, stmarysmenston.org school website and the @StMarysMenston Twitter account ensure that families are kept up to date with events and developments

• There is a Home/School Agreement to ensure that both parents and staff work together to encourage the best possible development of each student

• Every student is issued with a Sixth Form Planner to help them organise their work and to provide a readily accessible point of reference between staff and parents

• Our Sixth Form Presentation Evening in December celebrates the achievements throughout the Sixth Form.

• Students’ work is also recognised termly through postcards. Improved and 100% attendance are also celebrated.

• We are currently working to further develop our rewards system

• Consultation meetings with staff are held annually to give parents and staff the opportunity to discuss student progress

• Parents wishing to discuss any matter concerning their child can contact the Sixth Form Office by telephone or email

• Open Evenings and Open Days provide invaluable opportunities for parents to view St. Mary’s, meet staff and see the work of the school

• The work and achievements of St. Mary’s are regularly featured in the local and national media

• Parents are encouraged to support the school through involvement in school activities and events

• The Show my Homework website allows parents to see all homework set

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

St. Mary’s is fully committed to providing an inclusive education for students of all abilities and aptitudes.

The Learning Support Department ensures that appropriate provision supports students with additional needs or disabilities in order to access a broad and balanced curriculum.

Gifted and Talented

The Gifted and Talented programme supports the needs of our more able students providing opportunities to maximise their potential through challenging targets.

Homework

Homework is seen as an essential part of learning and growing independence. It develops self-discipline and the school’s policy is that appropriate homework is set for all year groups. The homework policy outlines six different types of study skills which are:

• Investigation• Consolidation• Vocabulary• Reading• Preparation• Feed Forward

The school uses an online service called ‘Show my Homework’ to enable parents and carers to have a complete overview of homework set.

Sex and Relationships Education

The school’s programme of SRE and Personal, Social, Health and Economic education are firmly rooted in the Catholic ethos of the school and linked to the school’s programme for Religious Education. Our programme was judged as outstanding by Ofsted and is built on our values as a Catholic school.

The programmes are in full accordance with the teachings of the Catholic Church and emphasise the sacred nature of the Christian marriage and its centrality to family life.

Today Lord, I will be the person you intended me to be. I will be the best I can possibly be.Amen Our School Prayer

“Students aspire to do well due to the support of their teachers and aspirations they have. Many recent students have become famous in their chosen area of work, such as acting in Hollywood films, joiningrenowned British pop groups, and excelling in national sports or performance in national ballet groups.

This exemplifies the nurture given to students over recent years to become whatever it is they want to become.”Ofsted
