This important role includes working closely with the school and Trust to raise standards and accelerate improvement in order to ensure the provision of the best possible education for our children.


At St Mary's we aspire to helping all of our children achieve to the best of their ability, but also keep them safe, happy and excited by their learning as we continue on our journey of improvement. Our motto is 'where children come first' and we put the children at the heart of all we do.


As a church school, we aim to prepare children for their future by achieving a high level of academic success, underpinned by Christian values chosen by the children. We work together to provide an excellent education, which allows all children to use their God given gifts to the full, within an inclusive and caring Christian ethos. We wholly uphold the belief that we are all one in God.

  • To deliver the best standard of education.
  • To be a place where high aspirations are embraced by all.
  • To be a school to which we are all proud to belong.
  • To be fully involved in the life of the community
  • To provide a safe and stimulating learning environment where children flourish


Our Values

Because we believe that we are all one in God, we acknowledge Jesus taught values of friendship, respect, kindness, trust and responsibility.

St Mary's academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Our school values the diversity of our workforce and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.

About Beaminster St Mary's Academy

St Mary’s converted to an Academy in the spring of 2014. As an academy we have the benefits of continuing to work alongside the Beaminster Pyramid of schools, as well as belonging to a family of schools under the Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust. 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.

As a Church school, we aim to prepare children for their future by achieving a high level of academic success underpinned by Christian values chosen by the children.  We are proud of our links to St Mary’s Church and take part in regular worships, both in school and at the Church.

Please do not hesitate to contact the school should you require any further information.
