History
Formerly St Mary's Grammar School - a voluntary aided R.C. school; it was mostly destroyed by bombs in 1941 having been established by the Sisters of Mercy near a convent on Anlaby Road. It was later rebuilt and moved to Inglemire Lane in 1960 to become St Mary's R.C. (Voluntary aided) High School for Girls and Marist R.C. College for Boys.
In 1988 after LEA reorganisation, it converted into St Mary's College - a Voluntary Aided, Roman Catholic, Co-Educational and Comprehensive Day school for pupils aged 11–19, in the Diocese of Middlesbrough.
The school was soon awarded the status of a specialist Sports College and accepted an invitation from the Department for Education and Employment to become a Beacon School. St Mary’s College has been a school, nationally recognised by the Youth Sports Trust physical education and sport.
In 2010 the College was judged by Ofsted to be outstanding, the first secondary school in East Yorkshire to receive the accolade under the revised Ofsted framework. It is also a Leading Edge school.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“My good friends, this is the second time in our history that there has come back from Germany to Downing Street peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And now I recommend you to go home and sleep quietly in your beds.”
—Neville Chamberlain (1869–1940)
