Our Team
At our school, we place great importance on building strong relationships between home and school while maintaining the warm, family feel that makes St Mary's special. Our teaching staff are available at the end of the school day, and you will always find our Headteacher or a member of our SLT on the gates each morning, ready to share in your concerns, celebrations, or simply a friendly chat.
For parents who are unable to meet in person after school, appointments can easily be arranged through the school office by telephone or email, ensuring that every family feels connected, supported, and part of our school family.
