iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).St. Mary's is at the heart of our community, with the flourishing of our community at its heart. It is my absolute pleasure to welcome you to St. Mary's, Prittlewell, C of E Primary School. Mary's is such a special place and I am so proud to be the Headteacher.
I am really lucky that I get to spend every day working in such a vibrant, diverse, inclusive and respectful school community. Our Christian ethos is valued by our staff, parents and children and we are proud of our close links with St. Mary's Church. Our school has four Core Values: Ambition, Belonging, Courage and Discovery – our St. Mary's ABCD!
These values shape and inspire everything that we do, enabling the children in our care to be happy, safe and motivated with a love of learning that will extend beyond the seven years they are with us. It is really important to us that the children have many treasured memories of their time at St. Mary's and that they feel valued and accepted for who they are.
