From the St Mary's Catholic Primary School
After a fire in the 1970s, the school was relocated to its current location on Masbro Road. With this change, our school became coed. The school continues to serve the local Catholic community and is still part of the Holy Trinity, Brook Green parish. A one-form entrance school, St. Mary's accepts 30 students for each age group. The age range of the kids in our full-time nursery is from 3 to 11. We provide services to the local Catholic community, and the Diocese of Westminster and the Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham jointly operate the school.
