“Together we journey to a future of opportunity.”
Our vision is to give every child the skills and experiences they need for their next step in life. At St. Mary’s C of E Primary School, we aim to provide a high-quality education that develops children intellectually, socially, morally, physically and spiritually within a Christian environment. Through the school’s ethos and collective worship, we use the Bible as guidance, as teaching and as our compass. In our school, children learn to respect the diversity within their community, themselves, differences of others and their surroundings. Children will leave our school on the next part of their journey in life with the confidence and the ability to make responsible and appropriate choices. They aspire to be the best they can and are valued members of the community.
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
Psalm 119 v105
St Mary's is a two form entry primary school with up to sixty children in each year group, giving a capacity of 420 pupils. Whilst we are a relatively large primary school, we pride ourselves in having a distinct community feel. Teachers , support staff and senior leaders build extremely positive relationships with children and their families in order to make them feel that, whilst being part of a large community, they are very much valued.
