Children are at the centre of everything we do and our focus is on developing the whole child – academically, morally, socially and spiritually. Nurture and understanding are the foundations from which we build our innovative and exciting curriculum. I have been Headteacher here since 2012 and am proud to lead such a friendly and happy school where the children are polite, well-behaved and hard working and best of all they tell us that they enjoy coming to school and learning! We have a wonderful team of teachers, teaching assistants and support staff (who are also well-behaved and hardworking!). If you are a prospective parent and would like to visit our school, then please do contact the office to make an appointment (01362 860114). I look forward to meeting you. |

Received from a Parent June 2016
I have been so impressed with St Marys since [my children] joined…… It was absolutely the right decision to bring them here and I am happily recommending the school to other parents I know locally. The school is so friendly, so encouraging and so supportive. The events it holds for parents and learning opportunities it arranges for the children are fantastic. It’s also great that the PTA are so active and hold so many brilliant events and with the support of teachers and yourself too, is just brilliant.
For the published data showing how well our pupils achieve, please look at ‘School Performance’ under’School Information’ to see in detail all of our strengths.
I hope you enjoy finding out more about our school through this website.
