School Values

St. Mary’s Catholic Primary School exists to serve the Roman Catholic families of the Parish of Our Lady of the Holy Souls, Kensal New Town and other local parishes.
The aims of our schools are:

• To promote Christian values where children live, learn and celebrate the teaching of Christ.
• To provide a curriculum which is broad, balanced and meaningful and where children can experience enjoyment and fulfilment.
• To promote the highest standards of teaching and learning within the framework of the National Curriculum
• To develop in each child a sense of achievement, value and self worth and to achieve the standards of which they are capable.
• To help our children acquire the skills of independent learning and make sufficiently rapid progress.
• To provide a safe and secure environment where children feel valued, and where they respect, help and care for each other.
• To involve parents in all aspects of their child’s education and promote good home/school partnership.
• To develop in our children awareness and respect for the different cultures and religions represented in society and their responsibility to the wider community.
• To foster the continuing development of staff, parents and governors in serving the community.

These values underpin all areas of our school community:

• Kindness
• Respect
• Tolerance
• Honesty
• Responsibility (for ourselves and our world)
• Co-operation
