Reception Sept 2025

Welcome to St. Mary's School 

If you have a child who is due to start Reception in September 25 and you are looking for a warm, caring, fun and high achieving school for your child to start their learning journey in - then look NO FURTHER - St. Mary's is the place for you !

Although we are a Catholic school, we welcome everyone. Please do not be put off applying simply because your child is not a Catholic. Every child, who put St. Mary's first on their Primary School Application Form over recent years, has been offered a place. 

We are delighted to share with you a virutal tour of our fabulous Reception Base, which will hopefully give you an insight into what life is like for a 4 and 5 year old at St. Mary's and the fun and wonderful opportunities that await your child in September 2025.

If you would like to have a chat with our headteacher (Mrs Martin) please contact the office on 01744 678610 to arrange a date and time and she would be delighted to take you on a tour of our school, so that you are able to get a real feel for what life is like at our warm, caring, happy, safe and nurturing school - where every child is encouraged and challenged to be the best that they can be. 

Entry procedures

Due to the ice around the school site there will be one entry point this morning. All children should enter via the church gates. The gate from the club car park will not be opened. Reception children can be dropped off at the double doors leading into the main school building. Please remind all children to stick to the gritted path as the playground is unsafe. Arrangements for pick up will be confirmed this afternoon following a site inspection.
