A warm welcome to St. Marys R.C. Primary School. We are delighted that you are taking the time to find out about our school. We hope the information provided Here you will find will be helpful and give you an insight into life at St. Marys. Our school values are inspired by the words of Jesus: A new commandment I give you: Love one another!
Just as I have loved you, you also must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. (John 13:34-35) We value kindness because it helps people feel safe, valued and welcomed. We value each other because we are all part of God's family and it is important that we all feel accepted and belong.
We value friendship and teamwork. We encourage each other to play and learn well together. We also remember that it's important to repair relationships when we have fallen out or upset others. We value effort and we encourage each other to try our best so that we can make good use of our strengths and talents.
