Congratulations to all the cast of 'Alice' who had an amazing run of the show last week. From the lead parts to the ensemble the performances were excellent. We thought we knew Alice in Wonderland....but you made us think again!

We are all looking forward to another evening of drama with our interpretation of Alice in Wonderland. Don't assume you know how the story goes!

Well done to all our pupils who continued our Pi day celebrations with a fundraising baking challenge celebrating the famous number. They have raised over £200 thus far for CAFOD.

We were thrilled to see that our 2025 OFSTED report recognised the hard work of our pupils in developing their skills of resilience and independence. Read more at http://stmarysmenston.org/News/OFSTED-Success/
