Your presence made the celebration even more meaningful. ### Sharing Kindness Beyond School We are also incredibly grateful for the generous donations of flowers. These were carefully arranged into beautiful bunches and then shared at the **parish Mass on Thursday**, spreading the joy of the occasion with the wider community. **A truly special celebration of faith, tradition and togetherness — well done, Year 4.** [Catholic Life](https://st-mary-s-catholic-primary-school-durham-2.schudio.com/news/tag/catholic-life) [ Year 2 Bring History to Life ](https://st-mary-s-catholic-primary-school-durham-2.schudio.com/news/2026-05-15-year-2-bring-history-to-life) [Year 1 Enjoy Memorable Beach Trip to Seaham ](https://st-mary-s-catholic-primary-school-durham-2.schudio.com/news/2026-06-24-year-1-enjoy-memorable-beach-trip-to-seaham) ![St. Mary's Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-mary-s-catholic-primary-school-durham-2/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### St. Mary's Catholic Primary School Central Avenue Newton Aycliffe Co.
