St Mary’s is a GOOD school

When Ofsted visited in October 2023 they graded the whole school as GOOD. This is a testament to the hard work of the staff, students, governors and parents/carers over the last four years to achieve this and is a fair recognition of our standards.

Do not forget that St Mary’s 6th form, and Personal Development, were both graded GOOD in 2019 as well. If you are considering a place in the 6th form at St Mary’s, our standards have been high in that area for well over five years now and this second grading of GOOD indicates a rich and successful experience for the young people in the 6th form.

Richard Vaughan,
Headteacher

A Warm Welcome To St Mary’s

At St Mary’s you will always find a welcome that is built on a strong Christian ethos and excellent relationships between adults and students.

Our vision, as a school with a Christian ethos, is founded on The Parable of the Sower (Mark 4: 3-9), where Through God’s love, we are the rich soil where seeds flourish and roots grow

This is the foundation of our motto, Everyone is equal: everyone deserves the best.
