Review of Vision, Mission and Core Values
On Friday 26th September, all staff at St. Mary's Primary School and Nursery Unit came together to review and revise our Vision, Mission, and Core Value statements. This collaborative effort reflects our shared commitment to shaping a school culture that truly supports every child’s growth and learning.
These updated statements will now serve as a foundation for our policy and curriculum review and for guiding our decisions and actions throughout the year. They represent what we stand for as a school community and will help ensure that our values are consistently reflected in everything we do.
