St Mary's R.C.Primary School
Headteacher's Welcome
More From Our HeadHello and welcome to St Mary's!
We're delighted you've stopped by to find out a little more about our wonderful school. Whether you're a prospective parent, a current member of our school family, or simply curious about what makes St Mary's special, we hope our website gives you a flavour of the happy, vibrant community we are proud to be part of.
At St Mary's, no two days are ever quite the same! From exciting classroom learning and creative projects to sporting achievements, musical performances and moments of prayer and reflection, our children fill each day with energy, curiosity and enthusiasm.
As a Roman Catholic Voluntary Academy within the Romero Catholic Academy Trust, we provide education for children aged 4–11. With around 210 children on roll, we are large enough to offer a wide range of opportunities whilst remaining small enough to know every child as an individual.
At the heart of everything we do is our belief in "Every Child, Every Chance." We are committed to ensuring that every child is valued, nurtured and challenged to achieve their very best. We celebrate each child's unique gifts and talents, providing opportunities for them to flourish academically, spiritually, socially and emotionally. We want every child to leave St Mary's with confidence, happy memories and a lifelong love of learning.
We enjoy strong links with our Good Samaritan Parish and our local secondary schools, particularly Blessed Trinity, where many of our pupils continue their educational journey.
The thing we are most proud of is our children. They are kind, hardworking, respectful and full of potential. They make St Mary's a truly special place to learn and grow, and they inspire us every day to live out our mission of Every Child, Every Chance.
We hope you enjoy exploring our website and discovering more about life at St Mary's. If you have any questions, or would like to come and see our school in action, we'd love to meet you. Please contact the school office to arrange a visit.
We look forward to welcoming you to St Mary's.
