Inclusion 

At St Mary’s C of E VA Primary, we are ambitious for all our pupils. It is our intention that, irrespective of their background or the challenges they face, every child is given the best the possible chance to maximise their potential. We strive to ensure all pupils flourish in our inclusive, supportive and caring school in order to be the best they can be. 

At St. Mary’s we endeavour to raise the aspirations and expectations for all children, providing a focus on outcomes. We believe in providing every possible opportunity to develop the full potential of all children. Pupils have the right to a broad and balanced education where their individuality is valued and their self-esteem promoted. We work in close partnership with parents/carers, Governors, outside agencies and the wider community.  The children grow and develop as we prepare them for the challenges of education, work and life enabling them to succeed now and in the future.

The 2025 SIAMS inspection stated:

“This caring community recognises that to be fully inclusive, support must break down barriers so pupils flourish alongside peers.”

“Leaders create a culture where pupils and staff flourish together. Aspiration is promoted and seen in action.”
