"Let your light shine before others"
As a Church of England school, we value and celebrate the diverse heritages of everybody at St Mary's. Alongside this, we value and celebrate being part of Britain. Both discretely in the curriculum and threaded throughout life school, we ensure the concepts of democracy, liberty, tolerance and mutual respect are promoted and reflected in our community. Of course, as a Church school, we take a full and active part in the Christian calendar of celebrations across the year. We also acknowledge the key religious festivals of other faiths represented in Britain today. At St Mary's, British values and Christian values are the foundation blocks upon which all that we do is built: Nurture, Aspire, Compassion, Empower.
Our children are curious learners, intelligent thinkers, joyful risk takers, polite servants who support and are supported by one another in faith and friendship.
