In English & supported throughout all subjects, we aim to empower & enrich our children’s vocabulary & so prepare them for the next stage in their educational journey (& beyond) so that no child is hindered or held back by a deficit of language as a result of deprivation. We want them to be able to articulate themselves & their learning through a wide bank of subject specific terminology as well as being creative & innovative in their speech & writing. We aim to inspire our children to become fluent, confident life-long readers who can discuss the joy of literature as well as develop their own style & expression through wide opportunities for writing.





Brilliant Behaviour
We are extremely proud of the high standards of behaviour in our school! We work hard to ensure that children learn how to behave & know how to live successfully together so that everyone can be happy.
We have a policy of positive behaviour & believe in rewarding children to build their self esteem & guide them in the right direction towards becoming the very best that they can be!
We have four Merit Teams: Ruby, Diamond, Sapphire & Emerald and children are given merit points for following the rules & helping each other. We also have a half termly treat afternoon for the winning team! The teams are headed up by Y6s (a boy & girl captain for each team) who have been voted in as good role models & ambassadors.
At St Mary's 'respect yourself, respect others and respect the environment'
Our Golden Rules are easy to remember & easy to follow so that children can be successful at our school:
1. We do our best;
2. We are honest;
3. We are kind and helpful;
4. We walk sensibly;
5. We are good at sitting and listening to each other;
6. We are gentle.
Because we believe in being positive with children, we find that we
have very few behaviour issues in our school & children manage
their own behaviour very well. If there is an ongoing behaviour issue,
there are consequences in place.
We also reward fantastic learning behaviours & have a superstar learner each week from each class who is given a certificate in assembly & has their name published in St Mary's Mag.
