St Mary's is a happy, exciting learning community. Everyone who works here, or visits, is made to feel welcome and valued. We are a UNICEF Rights Respecting School, and everything we do is based on our school vision and values Faith Family Future - Building a positive future for all as part of Gods loving family.
We are a Voluntary Aided Church of England Primary School enjoying close, positive links with our Church, St Mary the Virgin, Davyhulme. As a VA school, we do not have a catchment and can take children from a wide area. We have children from all backgrounds and faiths in our school, and each one is valued and celebrated.
We aim to provide a happy, loving, learning atmosphere, with close liaison between home, school, parish and the wider community. We are very proud at St Mary's that we really are a school family .
