St Mary's Catholic High School, Grimsby
Admissions
St Mary's accepted any student who wished to attend if they respected Catholicism. Two main sources of students were Catholic pupils from two Catholic primary schools - St Mary's on Wellington Street in East Marsh, and St Joseph's on Philip Avenue in Cleethorpes.

History
St Mary's Secondary School was originally on a site shared with the Junior School and St Mary's Church in Henage Road. In 1965 a new Secondary School was opened and was situated in the middle of the Nunsthorpe council estate in west Grimsby. It closed on 20 July 2010, merging with Matthew Humberstone school to become St Andrew's College in September 2010. St Andrew's College, based at the Matthew Humberstone Upper site on Chatsworth Place, in turn became the Holy Family Catholic Academy, and was again transformed in 2017, this time into the Beacon Academy.
