Our Christian Vision: 
 

Believe in Better, Grow Together 
 

At St Mary’s, we aspire to be a school where every child and adult flourishes, rooted in our Christian values of Hope, Joy, Family and Compassion. Inspired by these values, we nurture a community where everyone is encouraged to believe in their potential, strive for excellence, and grow together in faith, character and learning. 
 

As a Church school, our vision is underpinned by the story of Noah’s Ark and God’s promise to creation: 
 

“I have put my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the promise between me and the earth.” 

— Genesis 9:13  
 

The rainbow reminds us of God's enduring promise and reflects the values at the heart of our school community: 

• Hope — the rainbow is a sign of God's promise and the possibility of a brighter future.  

• Joy — it celebrates new beginnings and the opportunity to flourish.  

• Compassion — it reflects God's love and care for all creation.  

• Family — it reminds us that Noah and his family were protected together, highlighting the strength found in belonging and community.  
   

We want every child to flourish and become the very best version of themselves. Through our vision of Believe in Better, Grow Together, we inspire children to develop confidence, resilience and a sense of purpose, empowering them to make a positive difference in the world around them. 

We encourage our children to look beyond themselves, serving others with kindness and generosity. Through meaningful opportunities to support local, national and global communities, we help them understand that together we can build a better future for all.
