"The St Mary's Way"

Respectful Responsible Ready to Learn

The school describes Collective Worship as its heartbeat, aims to be highly inclusive, and teaches Religious Education (at least 1 hour per week) alongside coverage of Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism.

Head Teacher's Message

Dear Parents, It is with great pleasure and true excitement that I welcome you and your child to the community of St Mary’s C E Primary School. I look forward to making very strong links with yourselves and also to developing a partnership between school, child and parents that will help us all to provide the very best education for your child. I know that all who are associated with the school share its mission statement and will want to nurture your child and ensure that he or she will always feel safe, secure and cared for during his or her time with us. This is a very precious and special time for both children and their families as the children become aware of the world outside their home and develop their skills and personalities in a rapidly changing world. It is our challenge to help them to give their best so that they can be the best that they can, in all aspects of their life! So, thank you for choosing our school for this vitally important role as joint educators of your child. Ms Susan Lawrence HEADTEACHER
