Headteacher's Welcome

OPEN DAY FOR SEPTEMBER 2024 NURSERY AND RECEPTION INTAKE- MONDAY 27th NOVEMBER 5-7.30pm

“The love I have for you my Lord is only a shadow of your love for me”

‘The dreams I have today, my Lord, are only a shadow of your dreams for me,

only a shadow of all I can be, if I but follow you.’ (By Rev Carey Landry)

Welcome to St Mary’s RC Primary school. We are in the Parish of St Marys and St Philip Neri and are blessed with close physical, pastoral and links to the church.

St Mary’s provides a warm, caring and nurturing environment in which our children can develop the full richness of their talents and potential.

At Mary’s your child will feel valued for their unique talents and will leave the school well prepared for later life and ready to take on new challenges. They will leave with a sense of hope in the future and the firm faith to stand up for what is right and just. Our children can and will be a positive, loving influence in their family, their community and the wider world.

 We celebrate our individual differences and unique qualities. All that we do and achieve is underpinned by our distinctly Catholic ethos. We are proud of our school and especially our children.

 We love the outdoors at St Mary’s and are particularly proud of our Forest School, which builds self-confidence, teamwork, and resilience within the awe and wonder of god’s natural world.

We have a committed and hard-working staff who dedicate themselves to all children in their care, taking great joy in each child’s achievements and steps in learning.

Our children work hard and achieve well. Our website celebrates some of their achievements in many areas of the curriculum. If you would like to find out more, we welcome visitors to look around by arrangement with the school office

And once again thanks to all our parents for the opportunity to work with their children, it is a daily blessing and a privilege.
