St Mary’s converted to an Academy in the spring of 2014.

This means we can work with a wide range of schools, in order to share skills and expertise and join together to collaborate in sporting and music events and so much more!
Here in the Academy we are blessed by a staff who are extremely hard working and dedicated not only to helping all of our children achieve to the best of their ability, but also keep them safe, happy and excited by their learning. Our motto is ‘where children come first’ and we put the children at the heart of all we do.
