  • ST MARY CATHOLIC PRIMARY SCHOOL Woodside Way, Northampton, NN5 7HX
    Catholic Diocese of Northampton INSPECTION REPORT OF DENOMINATIONAL CHARACTER AND RELIGIOUS EDUCATION (Under Section 48 of the Education Act 2005) ST MARY CATHOLIC PRIMARY SCHOOL Woodside Way, Northampton, NN5 7HX DfES School No: 928/3400 Head Teacher: Mrs P Turner Chair of Governors: Mr H Williams Reporting Inspector: Mr J Flanagan Associate Inspector: Mrs P Brannigan Date of Inspection: 1 July 2008 Date Report Issued: 14 July 2008 Date of previous Inspection: September 2006 The School is in the Trusteeship of the Diocese and in partnership with Northamptonshire Local Authority Description of the School St Mary’s is a smaller than average Catholic primary school with 151 pupils on roll. Since its last inspection, the school has changed in nature from a lower to a primary school and has, until recently, undergone a period of instability in leadership. 78% of the children live in areas identified as suffering from social deprivation and 41% of the children are baptised Catholics. Attainment on entry is below the national average and most children join the school after the Foundation Stage. 17 children have EAL and there are 29 on the SEN list. The school is not specifically linked to a parish but has links with St Patrick’s in Duston and Northampton Cathedral. Key Grades for Inspection 1: Outstanding 2: Good 3: Satisfactory 4: Unsatisfactory Overall Effectiveness of this Catholic School Grade 3 St Mary’s is a satisfactory school with a clear awareness of its Catholic mission and also of the areas for development. Relationships within the school are good and the care of the children is given a high priority.

  • Newsletter—Issue 1/2019
    NEWSLETTER—ISSUE 1/2019 FROM THE EDITOR May I wish all our members and friends a very happy New Year, and also take the opportunity to say a few words of introduction. It is my privilege to assume the editorship of our Newsletter, and I must begin by recording my sincere thanks to Barry for his excellent work over a number of years in producing the Newsletter, and for his most helpful handover to me. I am conscious that Barry’s work followed the equally high-quality journal which the late, and much-missed, Roger Smith produced for a decade. I will do all I can to uphold their standards and I hope you will continue to enjoy reading the Newsletter. Although work commitments have meant that it has been difficult for me to play a fuller part in the Association, I have been a member for more than 30 years, joining after a Carlo Curley concert at St Matthew’s in Northampton. I wonder how many of us remember those marvellous occasions? I am organist at St Mary Magdalene, Castle Ashby, and also play regularly at All Saints’ Earls Barton. You can read more about the Nicholson organ at Castle Ashby in this edition, and I will tell you more about the Earls Barton organ in the future. Two very different organs which demonstrate the variety of instruments in the county. As you would expect, you will find some changes in this edition of the Newsletter, both in format and content. I am very grateful to Barry, to Helen, and to Alan in smoothing the handover, and I hope you will like what you read.
