Accepting applications for the coming year 2023 - 2024

May I offer you a warm welcome to St Mary’s Catholic Primary School. If you are considering applying for a place at St Mary’s then we hope that we are the school for you. If you already have a child here, then we are delighted to continue the links between us. I sincerely hope that you, your children and your family have a very happy time here as part of our school family.

Our mission statement really describes what we are about and what is important to us. We aim to inspire pupils to succeed, achieve excellence and create excitement for learning. We want our pupils to be the best that they can be and for them to be appreciated for who they are. We celebrate the uniqueness of every child in a culture built on trust and love.

Home, school and parish form a valuable and important partnership. Together we can make sure we help our young people to become confident, creative and caring individuals who will become the future leaders of tomorrow. Be it academically, socially, or in the field of sport, our aim is to enable our pupils to grow and flourish so they can make a real difference in society.

There are regular communications between school and home, as well as parents’ evenings and many other opportunities to visit school. However, if you need to know anything more at all about St Mary’s, please do not hesitate to ask. Your child’s teacher or I will be happy to make arrangements to answer your questions or discuss your comments and suggestions.

We are all striving to provide the best possible caring education for our children. The governors, pupils and staff of St Mary’s would like to welcome you to our school family.

With kind regards

Mrs Janet McKinlay
Headteacher
