St Mary Magdalene CE Primary School

Welcome to St Mary Magdalene CE Primary School website. We are a very inclusive, multicultural and diverse school, where many religions and languages reside happily under one roof. We aim to ensure that excellence and enjoyment is at the heart of all we do and that every member of our school community is equally valued.

Our school motto is Believe, Achieve and Succeed Together because we believe our children will achieve wonderful things and succeed in life together.

High expectations, respect, honesty and responsibility are just a few of the values we strive to instil in our pupils. These values are nurtured through our distinctive Christian character and through our commitment to becoming a Rights Respecting School.

Our school improvement priorities are always focused on ensuring the continual development of fun, challenging and creative opportunities for our children, balanced with a relentless drive for ever improving standards. We offer an exciting and engaging creative curriculum with wider opportunities in the form of after school clubs. We also have a dedicated breakfast club for those who need the school day to start that little bit earlier.

We are fortunate to possess vast open spaces for the children to play, including a beautifully constructed garden; boasting an outdoor stage, secret listening posts and a woven teepee. The children are encouraged to explore nature in this natural environment.

We welcome and encourage a visit to our school, where you will find happy, enthusiastic, respectful and confident children learning and playing in a safe and stimulating environment.

At St Mary Magdalene School, we operate an ‘open door’ policy. We believe our children receive the best education when parents/carers and our dedicated staff work together as a team.

With very best wishes,

Tonnie Simpson

Headteacher
