Welcome to St Mary's CE Primary School
A warm welcome from St Mary’s
Having taught at St Mary’s for over a decade, our Interim Principal, Mrs Eckley has a deep affection for the school and it’s community that makes it such a special place. She has had the privilege of watching the pupils of St Mary’s grow, flourish and achieve as they progress through the school and beyond, and is incredibly proud to be leading St Mary’s into its next chapter.
As a familiar face to children and families, Simone is passionate about ensuring that St Mary’s continues to be a place where every child feels happy, safe, loved and valued. Working alongside our dedicated staff team, she is committed to building on the strong foundations already laid laid, while nurturing the unique qualities that make the school so special.
Our Christian vision and values remain at the heart of our school life, guiding the way we care for one another, learn together and support our community. Simone wants every child to grow in confidence, discover their strengths and embrace the opportunities that will help them thrive.
She believes that a strong school is built on close relationships and looks forward to working in partnership with children, parents, governors and the wider community as St Mary’s continues to grow and flourish.
“Pupils are enthusiastic about their learning. In the early years, there are positive relationships between staff, children and parents. This helps children to be confident and happy.”
Ofsted 2023“Pupils work hard, support one another and respond very well to the good-quality teaching provided. They are extremely responsive in class, play happily with others on the playground and, for most pupils, attendance is high.”
Ofsted 2017“The curriculum is a significant strength. The school gives plenty of attention to basic skills but also provides pupils with a rich range of subjects and activities.”
Ofsted 2017“We are all unique children of God, wonderfully made, dearly loved and precious in His sight.”
Psalm 139
