Head of School Welcome
St Marys School, is a truly unique place to belong. I feel very privileged to lead this school where children ‘delight in attending’. Our small school ensures that every pupil is known and valued and that their individual needs are met. We are dedicated to nurturing curiosity, creativity and resilience, while fostering a love of learning. At the heart of what we do is our commitment to work in connection with our families to create a safe, happy and purposeful environment where children can flourish.
We are proud of our strong sense of community and our vision and values that guide us every day:
‘Being the best we can be in a thriving community following the example of Jesus.’
Luke 10 25-37 teaches us to Love others as we wanted to be treated. John 6 1-14 teaches us to recognize other’s Strengths and use our own to be resilient. Luke 5 1-11, tells us to have Faith in ourselves and to believe in the capabilities of others.
We are enormously proud of our school, and I would be delighted to show you more of how and what we do, here at St Marys. In visiting us you will find the Hartfield Way, where childhood is nurtured and treasured.
We are pleased to have achieved self-validated Healthy Schools Status this term. Click here to read more.
