• Thank You Jaguar & Land Rover

  Fri 05 Sep 2025

  As part of their community outreach project, Jaguar & Land Rover sent a team to our school for two days to renovate areas of the school. They cleaned and repainted our bike shed, built a new fence in Early Years, painted and tidied up our planters, painted areas in school and created a new forest classroom - all in two days! I would like to say a huge thank you to Jaguar and Land Rover for all the hard work they have done for our schoo.

• Mary's Meals Feeding Schools Award

  Mon 14 Jul 2025

  During this academic year, pupils and staff at Our Lady Star of the Sea, Seaforth, have
  acted upon their ‘Catholic Social Teaching’ in supporting Mary’s Meals, helping to feed some
  of the world’s poorest communities.
   
  Back in the Autumn term, Anna Houghton, Supporter Engagement Officer for Mary’s Meals,
  introduced herself and the work Mary’s Meals does. Since then the school has continued to
  raise awareness and held events during the year to support such as; ‘World Porridge Day’,
  ‘Raise Some Dough cake sale’ and ‘Move For Meals.’ The school raised an incredible
  £306.40 which means the school has fed 16 children with school meals for the next year!
   
  Anna returned to Our Lady Star of the Sea and presented the school with the ‘Schools
  Feeding Schools’ award and it is now a Mary’s Meals Ambassador School. Anna said: “It is
  wonderful to return back to the school which is just a haven for the children, the school is
  third to receive this award throughout the United Kingdom and first to receive this academic
  year. Well done to all the children and staff.”
   
  Mary’s Meals has worked to produce resources for the Religious Education Directory, to
  further support schools and to be able to share the story of Mary's Meals as part of Catholic
  Social Teaching. Our Lady Star of the Sea is proud to have worked with Mary’s Meals and
  will continue to support the amazing work they do.
