Welcome to St Marie's Catholic Primary School serving St Mary's Parish, Kirkby for children aged 3 11. We like to think that our school is an energetic, forward thinking family school where every child is given opportunity to thrive through holistic provision that tries to find and nurture each child's talents and aspirations.
We pride ourselves not just on academic success, of which there is plenty, but also on the social, cultural, sporting, artistic, spiritual and personal developmental successes that all our children experience. We aim to ensure that all our children are ready, both for secondary school but also for the world beyond school!
If you would like to learn more about us, a visit to our school will help you fully appreciate the distinctive, caring atmosphere and exciting, enthusiastic learning that takes place in our school each day. I hope that you can find all the information you are looking for and that many of your questions can be answered.
