We're glad you're here. The events we have going on at Bulwell St. Mary's are shown on our school website, along with ideas and information to help you. We think that every kid is a special person who requires a safe, loving, and exciting environment to develop emotionally, cognitively, physically, and socially. We offer a safe environment that encourages taking risks and the exchange of ideas in order to help kids attain their full potential in these areas. Bulwell St. Mary's teachers are dedicated to bettering both themselves and the students they educate. They design classes that encourage possibilities for personal exploration so that students build a passion for learning that spreads easily and motivates achievement. We are a Church of England school that emphasises a significant value every six weeks. This enables our kids to develop as people and positively engage with one another in whatever circumstance they face. The principles are a way of life rather than a series of instructions to be followed, enabling our kids to develop into courteous, kind, content, and HAPPY individuals. Participation in the community is crucial in fostering our kids' learning. We give parents and carers numerous chances to get involved beginning at a young age. Parents and carers are welcomed in to school as volunteers they are also encouraged to join an active PTFA who work hard to provide enrichment opportunities for the children at Bulwell St Mary's.
