Mission
Statement
The
mission of St. Mary's school is to educate our children for life as
Christians in the community. Jesus and his teachings are central to all that
we do:
Our school aims to:
§
Provide the experience of belonging to a Catholic
community
§
Promote active commitment to the wider community
§
Provide an education of the highest quality.
Saint
Mary's is the Primary School
of St Joseph's Roman
Catholic Parish. The church is situated half a mile away from the school. It
was founded in 1871 by Fr. Richard Davis, on a small site at the junction of Forlease
Road and Bridge
Street, Maidenhead. The school moved to a site at St
Joseph's church in 1882. In September 1974 we moved to
our present site with more spacious accommodation, a large playing field,
outdoor heated swimming pool and pleasant surroundings. The St. Mary's Catholic
Pre-School, for pupils
aged three years to five years, is located in our grounds. Many of our pupils
spend their pre-school years there and we enjoy close links with each other.
Saint
Mary's school has an excellent record of service to the Catholic population
of the area.
We
are a Voluntary Aided
Primary school being owned by the
Roman Catholic Diocese of Portsmouth and
maintained by the Diocese and the Royal Borough of Windsor
and Maidenhead.
Dear
Parents,
In
St. Mary's we aim to create an orderly, welcoming environment where the
Gospel values of love, peace and justice are reflected in the behaviour of
all members of the school community.
Prayer and worship play an important part in our daily school life. Through
getting to know Jesus our pupils learn how to behave in an acceptable manner
and the importance of love and respect for all.
We concern ourselves with each individual in the school community. Our
children are encouraged to develop their full potential in every area through
the provision of a curriculum which is suited to the individual's needs and
stage of development. Strong links between Home, School and Parish are of
great importance and we strive to maintain and strengthen these in as many
ways as possible.
Please
request a prospectus from the school it will give you an insight into the
life and work of St. Mary's. We
hope that you will find the prospectus interesting and informative and that
you will decide to visit our school with your family.
