Description
betaSt Mary's Catholic High School is a coeducational, Roman Catholic voluntary-aided secondary institution situated in Leyland, Lancashire, England. Established in 1957, the school welcomes students from age 11 to 16 in a community valued for its Catholic ethos and mental wellbeing. Catering to 769 learners as of January 2023, St Mary's is administered by both Lancashire County Council and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Liverpool. The school specializes in technology and maintains a strong link with feeder primary schools, including the neighboring St Anne's Catholic Primary School, St Mary's Catholic Primary School in Leyland, St Catherine's Catholic Primary School in Farington, St Mary's Catholic Primary School in Euxton, and SS. Peter and Pauls' Catholic Primary School in Mawdesley.
In September 2013, St Mary's experienced a devastating fire that damaged the school to the extent of £15,000,000. The school was forced to operate out of an alternative location until Christmas, returning to refurbished buildings in September 2015. Presently, St Mary's offers programs of study including GCSEs, BTECs, and Cambridge Nationals, preparing students holistically for future successes.
