A very warm welcome to St Mary s. Thank you for visiting our website. Whether you are a current parent, a prospective family or simply exploring who we are, I hope you find the information helpful and get a real sense of what makes St Mary's such a joyful, nurturing and aspirational place to learn and grow.
At St Mary s, our vision, Aspiring, nurturing, flourishing; together shining a light, is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that children flourish best when they are both encouraged and supported to aim high and surrounded by warmth, care and belonging.
Our Christian values - friendship, compassion, perseverance, trust, forgiveness and courage - are lived out every day, helping to create a deeply inclusive and respectful school culture. Reception Update! Reception class were thrilled to be visiting Little City on Tuesday!
What a fantastic opportunity for our children to explore, imagine and role play a range of different professions from doctors and vets to builders, shopkeepers and more! This hands-on experience sparks creativity, builds confidence and develops important communication skills through play. It was wonderful to see the children's imaginations come to life!
