From the St Mary's Catholic Primary School, Aston-le-Walls
Every student, parent, governor, and member of the school community is distinct in who they are and what they can bring to the table. All facets of our school, including the interactions, the instruction, the goals and objectives, the policies, the pastoral care, and the disciplinary practises, have the ability to express how God is active in our lives and enables us to reach our full potential. A Catholic school's main goal is to "hand on the faith" in collaboration with the home and parish. The faith journey is started by parents at baptism, and our goal is to help each child on their spiritual journey while collaborating with parents, who are the children's first teachers. The goals of our school incorporate our vision and values for the St. Mary's community.
