Welcome

It was around a year ago when a member of the congregation at St Mary's Church suggested that we should think about setting up a primary school. At the time we had no idea how far we would travel, or how fast, but we are delighted with the progress that we are making and excited that we are on track to open for our first Reception class next September. We hope you enjoy reading about St Mary's School on our website, and if you are a prospective parent we hope to meet you soon at an open day!

State of the art ICT for St Mary's School

Before September, the school will be buying all kinds of resources to give our children an excellent start to their education, including state of the art ICT equipment. That process has already started and this month governors have spent two days with representatives from the EFA finding out how the process works and what is available.

Our Vision

Together with local parents and teachers we have developed a clear vision for our small, inclusive Church of England school which builds on the best of excellent established Church of England Schools, operates within a framework of traditional Christian values, and meets the unique needs of children and families in Norwood Green and the wider Southall area.

St Mary's will:

deliver high academic standards through a strong emphasis on the teaching and learning of spoken and written English;
develop children's character and life skills to equip them for the future;
provide a relevant curriculum through drawing on a rich local culture and community roots; and
promote engaged citizenship and healthy living through an environmental focus.
Our aim is that all children, irrespective of background or prior attainment leave primary school fully prepared for the social and academic demands of secondary education.
