Welcome to St. Mary's Church of England Primary School & Nursery
St. Mary's is situated directly beside Saint Mary's Stadium - Home of Southampton Football Club. Ours is a strong history, with our school in existence since 1841.
We exist to serve our community. Leaders, teachers and support staff share a common mission to support children in our care to be the very best they can be.
Across our school, engagement is high. Behaviour is EXEMPLARY. Children lead by example and, like our Ofsted report says, we have created a 'haven of calm'.
Ofsted October 2023:
"Pupils flourish at this exceptional school. They receive an excellent education, with a sharp focus on learning and remembering more, growing in character, and future life chances. Relationships are strong and pupils are very happy. They feel incredibly safe in this haven of calm"
"Behaviour in lessons and around the school is exemplary. Pupils are eager to learn. They consider themselves lucky to attend this school. Pupils are incredibly proud of winning a ‘star pupil’ mug for exceeding the school’s already sky-high expectations. Pupils, including children in the early years, learn exceptionally well."
"Learning comes alive at St Mary’s. Teachers help pupils to remember their learning. For example, in a Year 2 lesson, pupils used virtual reality headsets to learn and understand more about school life in ancient Mesopotamia. The curriculum builds in opportunities for pupils to recap on previous learning. Teachers draw and build on prior learning exceptionally well."
SIAMS (Church of England) Inspection November 2023:
"St Mary's is a truly transformational Church school, serving a richly diverse area. Leaders are dedicated to ensuring all individuals develop their gifts and flourish. The school's Christian vision is articulated in its mission to serve both the community and God. Leaders recognise the uniqueness of every pupil and work hard to empower them to use their gifts. They will do ‘whatever it takes’ to realise that potential."
"St Mary's serves its community, in line with its mission."
"Curriculum leadership is robust. Leaders ensure that curriculum plans connect knowledge across different subject areas to create meaningful learning experiences. They look beyond primary school and aim to produce responsible, respectful, and ambitious young citizens."
