'Aspire not to have more but to be more' Welcome to St Mary's Catholic Primary Schools Trust. We are a Multi Academy Trust consisting of St Mary's Catholic Infant School and St Mary's Catholic Junior School working together in partnership to provide the best education possible for the children in our care.
Our schools are vibrant and innovative with a dedicated staff and supportive but challenging Governing Body. We are a learning family and work hard to ensure that our children understand the value of growing and learning together.
We value each child as an individual and work closely with parents to foster faith, love, care, Independence, versatility, persistence, curiosity, creativity, and confidence. We want our children to love learning and so take great care to ensure that our curriculum is exciting, challenging and bursting with awe, wonder and fun.
We also want them to realise their potential and so we encourage them to be aspirational. We believe that they are wonderful and we want them to believe this too.
