At St Mary's, everything we do is inspired by the teachings of Jesus Christ and rooted in our Catholic faith. We are a loving and welcoming community where every child is known, valued and encouraged to grow spiritually, socially and academically.

Our faith is lived each day through prayer, worship, acts of charity and service to others. Guided by Catholic Social Teaching, we help children recognise that every person is created in the image and likeness of God and is deserving of dignity, respect and compassion. We encourage our pupils to care for others, work for the common good and take responsibility for God's creation.

Our School Values

Our four school values are at the heart of daily life at St Mary's:

• Respect
• Compassion
• Ambition
• Resilience

These values shape the way we learn, behave and treat one another. We celebrate children who demonstrate them through our weekly Celebration Assemblies and daily Golden Tickets.

Together, these values create a culture where children feel safe, supported and encouraged to do their very best. They help our pupils develop confidence, independence and a love of learning, while fostering classrooms that are purposeful, positive and filled with kindness.

Our Mission Statement

At St Mary's, our mission is:

• To love one another as Mary loves Jesus and Jesus loves us.
• To do our best always.
• To take care of ourselves and the world God has given us.

Our mission guides all that we do. It shapes our relationships, inspires our learning and encourages us to serve others with generosity and compassion.

Through our faith, values and actions, we strive to be a community where every child can flourish and become the person God calls them to be. Inspired by the principles of Catholic Social Teaching, we encourage our children to put their faith into action by serving others, promoting the common good, caring for creation and working for a more just and compassionate world.

"Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:16)
