Welcome to our school,

I am delighted to introduce myself as the headteacher at St. Mary's Catholic Primary School. As a former pupil, I am extremely proud to be headteacher at this warm and caring school; and look forward to continuing both the academic and personal successes and where every child is encouraged 'to be the best they can be' in all ways.

Our Mission Statement, (St Mary's School is a safe, inclusive and happy place, where we follow Jesus by living, loving, learning and working together) along with our Core Values (integrity, respect, nurture, creativity and celebration) truly underpin all that we say and do.

We are a learning community that is guided by our faith and Gospel Values. Our warm and caring ethos is commented on by all who visit us. We aim to fully develop every child in our care, so that they not only achieve academically, but they also experience success in other areas of school life e.g. sporting, socially, musically and artistically. Our aim is for every child to leave St. Mary's as independent young adults who have a love of learning and my personal vision is to ensure that every child feels known and loved and encouraged to discover and develop their God given talents.

I look forward to working in partnership with parents, Governors and the Parish as we continue to make our school a place where faith and learning flourish hand in hand. Our website gives you just a small glimpse of what life is like at St. Mary's. Please come along and see for yourselves our school in action. 

Looking forward to a successful and happy school year,

Ruth Martin
