Dear Parents, Guardians and Visitors,
This website is intended to help you discover more about the life and work of St Mary’s Catholic Voluntary Academy.
Our first aim is to help your child settle well and enjoy school. We recognise that as a parent or guardian, you are the first educator of your child and we aim to work with you to encourage your child to begin to grow into an independent and responsible citizen.
St Mary’s Catholic Voluntary Academy is a good school, inspired and guided by Gospel Values. We put Christ and the teachings of the Catholic Church at the centre of everything we do and aspire for academic excellence for every child, growing with Jesus ti be the best they can be. People who visit St Mary’s for the first time comment on how warm, welcoming and friendly the school is. Our “Family Atmosphere” is built on a coaching and nurturing ethos.

Saint Anne’s have enjoyed British Science week. Their interest in dinosaurs has prompted some brilliant discussions. They have also been investigating magnetic objects and plant life. We really enjoyed looking at what happens when we heat crayons and when we freeze water. Some brilliant learning, well done! 👏

A visit from @joelfearon6 on Friday where all classes took part in circuit training. At the end we enjoyed an assembly where Joel taught us to just be brave! A reminder that all sponsorship forms need to be brought back by this Friday.
