From the St Mary's CofE Primary School
St. Mary's School is a loving family school that excels in a variety of endeavours. We are committed to giving each of our students the finest individualised education possible while valuing their uniqueness, abilities, and gifts. All types of prejudice and discrimination are unacceptable to us. We think that success and achievement drive kids and that these things should be celebrated. When a child's school and home share a common set of beliefs and collaborate, they can reach their full potential. To ensure that children receive the most from their time with us, parental support is crucial. Trust, Hope, Friendship, Perseverance, Forgiveness, and Peace are our school's core Christian principles.
