Believing, Achieving, Succeeding

Welcome children, parents and friends,

I hope that you enjoy looking through our newly updated school web-site. It is packed full of pictures (old and new) and useful information, which I believe will give you a real insight into how our school ticks. It shows just how much fun our children have as they progress along their St. Mary's learning journey. I hope that you have as much fun looking through the web-site as we have had putting it together.

For parents we have a dedicated section for you, including any relevant updates from the various education bodies and direct access to websites.The site will be updated regularly with news, events and all the latest school activities.

We hope you find our website useful, accessible and enjoyable.

Play and Well-being.

Who remembers being outdoors building dens, having pretend picnics or playing in mud? Playing outside is great for children’s health but we know that these types of outdoor play experiences are declining.

During Childrens Mental Health Week everyone can play a part in helping our children to be healthy on the inside and outside.

Did you know play can help improve children’s physical and mental wellbeing, build resilience and gain social and emotional health.
