secure and stimulating environment where we aim to inspire, challenge and support our pupils to achieve their full potential and to grow into independent and responsible young people.

Introduction from the school's website

On behalf of the pupils, staff and Governors I would like to invite you to view our school website. We believe our school is a special place and hope everyone here enjoys their time with us. We hope that you and your family find St. Mary’s to be a welcoming and friendly environment and one in which your child will feel safe, secure and valued.

Governors and staff work together to provide a high standard of education for all our pupils, within a happy, stimulating and secure learning environment. We encourage pupils to take responsibility for their learning, to grow in confidence and become more independent.  We believe that children learn best when staff and parents work together in close partnership  and so we value your involvement with your child's education. We promote good behaviour so that every child can achieve their potential.

We hope our website will give you an idea of the wide variety of experiences we offer the children in our school, please feel free to visit the school by arranging a convenient time.
