About

We strive to support our pupils in achieving the highest possible standards. A school's performance is measured by overall achievement of its pupils. Achievement is a combination of both pupils' attainment (in relation to age-related expectations) and progress (how far they move from their personal starting point). We are proud of the standards that pupils at St Mary's achieve.

By the end of Year 6 (end of Key Stage 2) the attainment of our children is consistently above national average values and pupils, typically, make very good progress (above / well above national averages). The results detailed in these pages (2023) relate to the most recent statutory assessments.

There were no statutory assessment processes completed in English schools in 2020 or 2021 (due to the pandemic).

In the school’s own words, from the school website.

Governing body (16 current, 1 former)

iAcademy trust: local governing body and trust board.

14 governors are linked to a profile (all confirmed).

Governors marked “Confirmed same person” have exactly the same forename and surname as the only officer of that name at the school’s own academy trust company on the Companies House register, so we treat them as the same person. The governance record itself comes from DfE.
