🌟 Our Vision at St. Mary’s C of E Primary School

At St. Mary’s Church of England Primary School, our vision is rooted in our Christian foundation:
a fully inclusive, caring school where all of God’s children are welcomed, nurtured, and empowered to flourish.

We aim to create an environment where every child:

• Feels deeply known, valued and celebrated as a unique individual

• Accesses a broad, balanced and bespoke curriculum that meets their needs and raises aspirations

• Builds strong character through kindness, courage, and thoughtfulness

• Is equipped with the tools to succeed academically, spiritually, socially and morally in an ever-changing, technological world

We want all our children to develop a lifelong love of learning, confidence in themselves, and the ability to thrive in whatever path they choose.

✝️ A Christian Vision and Values, Lived Daily

Our Christian vision is not just something we say—it’s something we live and model every day. Guided by our six core values — compassion, community, thankfulness, truthfulness, courage, and forgiveness — we foster a shared commitment to high standards and personal growth.

As recognised in our 2025 SIAMS inspection:

"St. Mary’s is a caring and inclusive school that is warm and welcoming. The Christian vision, underpinned by six core values, is securely embedded and understood by pupils and adults. It shapes daily experiences, fosters a shared commitment to high standards and promotes personal growth."
— SIAMS Report, 2025

Our leadership team models the vision with integrity. It guides our behaviour, relationships, and decision-making—not just for staff, but for pupils too.

🤝 Inclusion, Aspiration, and Belonging

We are committed to removing barriers to learning and ensuring every child can thrive regardless of their starting point. As a result, pupils feel a strong sense of belonging and grow in confidence, character and competence.

"Each pupil is deeply known, valued and celebrated as a unique individual… barriers to learning are removed, allowing pupils to achieve and develop well."
— SIAMS Report, 2025

Our bespoke curriculum is designed not only to raise academic achievement but also to inspire character development and prepare our pupils to be courageous, kind and thoughtful citizens of the future.

"A broad and bespoke curriculum has been designed that raises aspirations and builds character. It inspires pupils to become courageous, kind and thoughtful. As a result, pupils flourish and are prepared for life."
— SIAMS Report, 2025

💫 Growing Together

Our vision is a shared journey. Governors, leaders, staff, and the wider community all work together to uphold our values and ensure that every child in our care:

• Is loved and nurtured

• Learns in a way that suits them

• Grows in strength, character, and compassion

• Leaves us ready for life in all its fullness

At St. Mary’s, we are proud to be a school where children flourish—academically, spiritually, emotionally and socially.
