The Local Governing Committee of St Mary’s C of E Primary Academy is committed to developing all people in the school, whether children or staff, to their full potential within the context of a caring, Christian community and seeks to provide education, in accordance with the provisions of the National Curriculum, for all local children
The school caters for students between the ages of 4 and 11. We currently have 259 pupils on roll across the 7 primary years and currently have no mixed age classes. Each class has its own teacher who is responsible for teaching the class for most of the week. However, there will be times when the pupils are taught by other members of staff.
Classes are currently organised into one or two classes per year group but over the coming years the school is due to expand and, consequently, the class organisation may change as larger numbers pass through the school.
St Mary’s C of E Primary Academy is a forward thinking school with a strong and supportive team. We are looking for like-minded candidates who are committed to meeting the needs of our children and being part of our journey to provide our children with a positive learning experience and help them to be the best that they can be. The school has recently joined the Collaborative Learning Trust, a newly formed multi-academy trust, and is already benefiting from their expertise and the opportunities to share good practice.
As part of The Collaborative Learning Trust, a recently formed Multi-Academy Trust, we place children at the very centre of everything that we do. We believe that the provision of key central services by the Trust enables the school to focus even more on providing an outstanding school experience for children and young people. The Trust’s vision for outstanding, inclusive, nursery to 19 education can only be achieved by building strong partnerships and sharing expertise.
