webmaster's note. Some of the information below may be out of date following the move in September 2007, of the previous head teacher Mrs H. Giblett, and deputy head teacher Mr. J. Cosgrove, to new schools locally and in Reading. We thank them for everything they have each contributed to St. Mary's school over many years and wish them every success in the future. 
Updates will be added here when available. Contact the school if urgent.

St. Mary's school has 220 pupils aged 5 - 11 taught in eight classes as well as a 24 place Nursery with separate morning and afternoon groups

We aim to provide the very best education for all our pupils and to bring each one to a knowledge and love of God.

The Catholic Faith is central to the day to day life of our school and to all aspects of the curriculum, it is not an added extra which we offer our pupils. The curriculum is based on a religious understanding of life, and the principles of the Gospel permeate the life of our school.

It is designed to enable pupils to grow in every way to Christian maturity - towards a fuller understanding of God and mankind. The school attaches great importance to good relationships within the school community so there is an environment within which pupils can prosper. In delivering the curriculum the school recognizes the uniqueness of each child and respects the value, dignity and individuality of each child. The school is committed to close collaboration both with parents and parish.

All children are entitled to equal access to the National Curriculum and Governors strive to achieve this in St. Mary's School.

St. Mary's R.C.Primary School exists to provide a stimulating, quality learning environment and experience through fostering a gospel-inspired living community based on acceptance, affirmation, love and respect; inviting the active participation of all.

We seek to recognise, develop and celebrate that which makes us fully human through ever deepening relationships with God and each other, firmly rooted in the teaching of Jesus Christ and nourished through prayer and worship.

We value co-operation, openness and trust, leading to confidence, appreciation of all our gifts, culminating in a sense of self-worth, responsibility and true belonging.

We will strive to help children achieve their full potential, working towards excellence as an expression of personal dignity and fulfillment.
