Christian Life at St Mary’s

At St Mary’s CofE Primary School, our Christian vision and values are at the heart of everything we do. Guided by our school motto, ‘With God’s help, we can reach for the stars,’ we strive to create a loving, nurturing and inclusive environment where every child is valued, celebrated and encouraged to flourish.

Our Christian ethos is woven throughout daily school life, shaping the way we learn, grow and care for one another. Through collective worship, prayer, reflection and opportunities for spiritual development, we encourage our children to explore their faith, respect the beliefs of others and develop a sense of belonging within our school community.

Collective worship is invitational, inclusive and inspirational, providing meaningful opportunities for everyone to reflect, celebrate and grow spiritually.

Our dedicated Worship Team plays an important role in shaping Christian life across the school, helping to plan, lead and evaluate worship while promoting our Christian values and encouraging everyone to make a positive difference in our school and wider community.

Together, we aim to live out our Christian vision each day, inspiring our children to shine brightly, show kindness and compassion, and reach their full potential.
