At St Mary s, with Christ as our guiding light, we endeavour to live out our Catholic ethos and mission of our school and we aim to develop lifelong learners who have a thirst for the development of knowledge and skills in every area of the curriculum, which will provide them with high aspirations and a social conscience to make a positive difference to themselves and the world around them.
We believe that our school provides the experience of a living, growing Catholic environment for all members of our community. Christ is at the centre of everything we do. On our journey of faith, with Jesus as our guide, as we live, learn, play, work and pray together in our community. Teach us to be kind friendly and forgiving.
Help us to do everything well and for the love of you.
