From the St Mary's Catholic Primary School, Edlington
If your child or children are already students at St. Mary's, you already know that we are a very compassionate institution that puts the needs of your kids first. Every child is unique, and we think they all deserve the best education. We are adamant that all of our students grow intellectually, ethically, socially, and spiritually while attending our school. Our students are content, love going to school, and feel secure in the nurturing setting we offer. Since it is through this connection and with their Parish family that children truly grow, our team makes it a point to develop positive relationships with children and their families. At the end of the day, we invite parents to visit our school so that there is continuous and fruitful connection between teachers and parents. I try very hard to be there for parents whenever they need to communicate as quickly as possible. Please get in touch with us if you are thinking about sending your kid or children to St Mary's, and I will personally meet with you and give you a tour of our campus. As a Catholic institution, we take great satisfaction in our compassionate culture, which welcomes children of all faiths and those who want to uphold our Catholic character. I would want to express my gratitude to all of our families for their continued support of St. Mary's and I eagerly await the arrival of new families at our school.
