The children reverently took part in the procession, culminating in the crowning of Mary — a powerful and symbolic moment that reflects the importance of devotion and faith during the Month of May. ![Salvation Army charity drive](https://files.schudio.com/st-mary-s-catholic-primary-school-durham-2/imagecache/720x440c/news/644460713_887695634260185_7132430067125501266_n.jpg) 6 March 2026 ### [St Mary’s Catholic Primary School Year 3 Leads Heart‑Warming Charity Drive in Newton Aycliffe](https://st-mary-s-catholic-primary-school-durham-2.schudio.com/news/2026-03-06-st-mary-s-catholic-primary-school-year-3-leads-heart-warming-charity-drive-in-newton-aycl) Pupils in Year 3 at St Mary’s Catholic Primary School enjoyed an inspiring and educational day out this week as they visited the local clothes bank and Tesco to make generous donations in support of the Salvation Army charity drive.

Their thoughtful contributions highlighted the school’s commitment to community support, sustainability, and Catholic social teaching. ![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.
