Mission Statement

God is at the centre of our lives and as a school community we try to grow in love
and care by following the example of Jesus.
The Gospel values of trust, honesty, forgiveness, self -
respect, self-discipline, loving and caring for one another must be part of everyday
life in our school.
We recognise the importance of home school and Church working in partnership.

But at St Mary's we often abbreviate this to say simply that...

"God is at the centre of our lives"
