Throughout this season we take time to think about our lives and the ways we can grow closer to Jesus, as we journey with Him to the cross and to the certain joy of Easter. We prepare our hearts for this joy through praying, fasting and giving. To mark the beginning of Lent, our pupils and staff spent the afternoon at Church for our Ash Wednesday service. A huge thank you to all the pupils who read and distributed ashes, and to Fr Mark for helping us enter into this beautiful season! “We are ambassadors for Christ; it is as though God were appealing through us, and the appeal that we make in Christ’s name is: be reconciled to God.” - 2 Corinthians 5:20 [ World Book Day 2022](https://st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/news/2022-03-07-world-book-day-2022) [Sports Round-Up ](https://st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/news/2022-03-11-sports-round-up) ![Brownedge St Mary’s Catholic High School](https://files.schudio.com/brownedge-st-mary-s-catholic-high-school/images/logo/Brownedge-favicon_(2).png) ### Brownedge St Mary’s Catholic High School Station Road Bamber Bridge Preston Lancashire PR5 6PB 01772 339813 ### Useful Links - [Ofsted](https://st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/our-school/inspection-reports) - [Calendar](https://st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/calendar) - [Facilities ](https://st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/facilities) - [Firefly](https://brownedge.fireflycloud.net/login/login.aspx?prelogin=https%3a%2f%2fbrownedge.fireflycloud.net%2f) ### Quick Links - [Edde](https://brownedge.parentportal.biz/) - [Outlook](https://outlook.office.com/mail/) - [OneDrive](https://8884623-my.sharepoint.com/) - [Microsoft Teams](https://teams.microsoft.com/) - [Library AccessIt](https://uk.accessit.online/brw11/#!dashboard) - [All calls to school are recorded](https://st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/contact) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://facebook.com/BrownedgeStMarys) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/brownedgestmarys/) © Copyright 2020–2026 Brownedge St Mary’s Catholic High School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
