‘In God’s light,

we love, learn and grow

together.’

Aims and Vision

Our vision is to raise the achievements, both academic and spiritual, of all children at St Mary’s. It is set firmly within the context of our school’s mission statement 

We welcome everyone into our school community to love, learn and grow together through God’s light and Gospel values.

Our creative curriculum built around our rural area helps to prepare every child for an ever changing world built on respect and allowing them to shine.

We want children to gain a love of learning in a safe, welcoming environment in partnership with our Teachers, parish, parents and carers with Our Core Gospel Values central to everything we do.

Our goal is to develop the full human potential of each unique individual in an environment where Core Gospel Values are demonstrated.
