Catholic Schools Inspectorate:

Dear Parents and Carers,

I am absolutely delighted to share the wonderful outcome of our recent Catholic Schools Inspectorate (CSI) inspection. The report is a true celebration of our whole school community, and as Principal of St. Mary's Catholic Primary school, I could not be prouder of what it reflects.

The inspectors recognised the deep commitment, vision, and faith-filled leadership that shape daily life at St Mary’s.

Our mission “Our community, growing and learning together with Christ” was highlighted as something that is truly lived out by our pupils, staff, and families every day.

Key Highlights from the Report

The inspectors particularly praised:

Our warm, vibrant, and inclusive school culture, where every member of the community is welcomed and supported.

The excellent religious literacy of our pupils, who speak confidently and thoughtfully about their faith.

Our creative and meaningful prayer and reflection spaces, which enrich the Catholic life of our school.

The inspirational leadership and governance, ensuring that Catholic life, religious education, and collective worship remain at the heart of everything we do.

The report also outlines a small number of areas for development, which we see as exciting opportunities to build on the strong foundations already in place.

Thank you for your continued support in helping St Mary’s to flourish as a faith-filled, joyful, and thriving community.

Mrs. Pritchard, Mr. Southall and the St. Mary's staff.
