A very warm welcome to St Mary’s. We are delighted to share what makes our school such a special and happy place for children to achieve, belong and thrive.

At St Mary’s, Christ is at the heart of all we do. Our Mission Statement, ‘Love God, Love others and Love ourselves’, shapes our school community and the way we live and learn together. We nurture children’s faith and character through the Gospel values of Faith, Love, Hope, Forgiveness, Courage, Justice and Service to others.

We believe every child is a precious and unique gift from God. We are committed to developing the whole child, combining an excellent academic education with strong values, exceptional pastoral care and a genuine sense of community.

Academic achievement is a real strength of St Mary’s. We have high expectations for every child and are proud that our pupils consistently make excellent progress, with attainment above national and local authority averages. Our children are challenged, supported and inspired to achieve their very best, while developing a genuine love of learning.

Alongside academic excellence, we place great importance on character, personal responsibility, resilience and kindness. We want our children to leave St Mary’s confident, capable and grounded in their faith, with happy memories, good friendships and the knowledge, skills and values they need to thrive in our ever changing world. 

Our strong partnership with families, our parish and our wider community creates a warm and supportive environment in which children feel known, valued and encouraged to be the best they can be.

St Mary’s is a school where faith, character and academic excellence go hand in hand. We are incredibly proud of our children and all that they achieve, and we hope you will discover for yourself what makes our school such a wonderful place to be.

We look forward to welcoming you to St Mary’s.
