:''For schools with a similar name, see St. Mary's Roman Catholic High School.'' St Mary's Roman Catholic High School is a Roman Catholic, co-educational, secondary school with academy status in Upper Newbold, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, that specialises in the teaching of languages. It received a School Achievements Award for the third time in 2003 and has approximately 1260 pupils attending, including 254 sixth form students (as of 2006). The Headteacher of this school is currently Mr S McClafferty, after the retirement of Mr T Moore OBE who has won awards for his involvements in the school's charity work, particularly the funding and building of a school in Burkina Faso, Africa. He received an OBE in December 2006;〔(2006 Birthday Honours list, containing the nomination of Thomas Moore. )〕 this was mentioned on the local BBC News programme ''Look North''. The school is voluntary aided and holds many fundraising events in order to aid itself financially. St Mary's performance is considerably higher than the local and national average,〔(School status at BBC site ) accessed 24 December 2007〕 and was recognised as 'particularly successful' by Ofsted in 1993-4 and 1997-8.〔(Ofsted report on line )〕 However, the School has no specific geographical catchment area (like other schools in the area) and so can choose students from church Parishes in Chesterfield, though all Catholic applicants are generally accepted; regardless of academic ability.〔(Criteria for Admission in September 2008 ) accessed 24 December 2007〕 The school adopted the song "Let us build a school" as their official school hymn in 2006. Former Australian international cricketer Jason Gillespie has visited the school, and there is a picture of him in the sports hall to commemorate this. ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St Mary's Roman Catholic High School, Chesterfield」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
