Welcome to Creeting St Mary Church of England Primary School. At Creeting St Mary CofE Primary School our vision is to support our pupils as they strive to achieve the aspirational challenges we set for them spiritually, academically, socially and emotionally.
As a school founded on and rooted in the Christian faith and values, we follow Jesus teaching; Anything is possible for those who believe (Mark 9v23). In our school everyone knows everyone else, we embrace the Christian values of Love, Respect, Perseverance, Wisdom, Hope and Community.
We endeavour to develop the whole person, live well together and offer rich experiences to live life in all its fullness. O ur school is committed to supporting the emotional wellbeing and mental health of the whole school community. We are a school where everyone is welcomed and valued for their individual talents.
We care about each other and we work hard to ensure that everyone is made to feel welcome. As a Christian school we warmly welcome families from all faiths, or none, and expect our pupils to show respect and tolerance for all.
