It is an absolute privilege to welcome you to the St Mary's school website. Our website will give you just a taste of all the fantastic things that our children experience at St Mary’s! We’re all very proud of our children & school and see ourselves as one big family, 'rising above the ordinary'.

We want all of our children to fulfil their full and amazing potential and to have great fun in doing it! If you would like to come and have a look to see what St. Mary’s can offer your child through a place at our school, then please give us a call – we look forward to hearing from you!
