On behalf of St. Mary’s Church of England Primary School, I would like to welcome you to our learning community. We are a thriving town centre primary school with a Christian ethos and a family atmosphere. Our values are the Christian values of Friendship, Respect, Perseverance, Courage, Compassion and Thankfulness and these are embedded in everything that we do.

At St. Mary’s Church of England Primary School, we aim to make a difference to the life of every child. We believe that every child should have a dream; that the dream should be believed in and that every child can achieve what they set out to do. We champion every child and aim to inspire all members of our learning community to aim for excellence. Learning is a lifelong journey of discovery and it is our duty as educators to ignite curiosity, excitement and resilience so that our children can see themselves as lifelong learners. 

Well-being lies at the heart of everything we do and we are delighted that this has been nationally recognised by WAS and commented upon in our most recent Ofsted Inspection in February 2021.

When joining our school community, it is like being part of a family with members that care for and look after each other. The older children are excellent role models for the younger children, and there is a genuine sense that children look out for each other. We also have excellent relationships with parents, governors, members of the community and the church.

Our website is designed to inform you about our school, and we hope you find it useful. If you would like to visit us, please do not hesitate to contact us to arrange a viewing. I would be delighted to meet you and proud to show you around our school.
