About

St Mary's Catholic Primary School is situated in Beckenham, in the London Borough of Bromley. It was founded in 1968 on land leased to Bromley Council by a religious order- The Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The school serves three main feeder parishes- St Edmund's in Beckenham; St Mark's in West Wickham and Our Lady of the Rosary in Hayes.

The school is two forms of entry with fourteen classes and 412 children on roll. In 2014 St Mary's converted to stand-alone academy status and this means that all funding comes directly to be spent on our children. We have strong partnerships with the Catholic primary schools in Bromley deanery.

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

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