In the life of faith of St Mary’s Catholic Primary School, Religious Education plays a central and vital part.

At the heart of Catholic education lies the Christian vision of the human person. This vision is expressed and explored in Religious Education. Therefore Religious Education is never simply one subject among many, but the foundation of the entire educational process.

"St Mary’s is a good Catholic school... The distinctive Catholic nature of the school is evident in the quality of relationships between pupils and teachers and the ways in which all are welcomed, nurtured and respected as individuals irrespective of differences in background or faith journey." Section 48 Inspection Report, March 2018

"St Mary’s is a worshipping community where prayer and collective worship is seen as central to the school’s mission and ethos. Pupils are proud of their school, responsive to the many opportunities for faith development and feel valued and loved by the staff. Parents express a high degree of satisfaction with the school, praising its Catholic ethos and inclusivity." Section 48 Inspection Report, March 2018
