Our School Motto
Our motto is ‘Let Your Light Shine’ and this underpins all we are aiming to achieve at St Mary’s. It enables us to prepare the children to be life-long learners who achieve their unique God-given potential.
Our School Mission
Our aim is for children to leave our school with a love of God and with strong values of respect for one other. We intend to do this by ensuring our Catholic ethos is at the core of our curriculum. This helps children to develop their social and moral code, as they build their sense of uniqueness and self-worth as an individual. We have excellent links with the Parish community. All classes undertake a range of charitable acts and outreach work in the local and wider community so that children see themselves as part of the community and develop social responsibility.
Our School Values
Catholic Social Teaching
The Catholic Life and Mission of the school is enhanced by Catholic Social Teaching. Each term, there is a focus on a different set of CST principles. The principles are launched at the start of term and the display in the hall suggests ways to live it out. At the end of the term, one child per class is chosen by their teacher to receive a special CST award in assembly. Winners’ names are added to the CST displays outside Mrs Brown’s office and in the Sacred Space.
