St Mary's is a Catholic Primary School where each child is welcomed into our school community that prides itself on caring for each individual. 

We believe that each person is unique and made in the image and likeness of God as expressed through Jesus Christ in the Gospels.  We believe that our mission is to recognise, nurture and develop the God given gifts, talents and spirituality of each individual.  Our school mission statement celebrates the uniqueness of each person.  The distinctive nature of our Catholic school incorporates this ethos.

We recognise the personal and academic differences within our school community and aim to offer the appropriate level of support and challenge to ensure growth and success.

As a school we are committed to Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this committment.
