At St Mary’s Primary School, we encourage partnerships between school, family, parish and the wider community.
We work actively to build a positive school environment where each child can feel included, safe, supported and valued. We believe that the development of our students’ personal, spiritual, social, emotional and physical wellbeing is fundamental to their academic success.
