From the St Mary's CofE Primary School
St. Mary's is promoting British values.
The basic British principles of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and respect for people of all religions and beliefs must be promoted in all schools, according to the DfE, which has lately reaffirmed the need for doing so.
At St. Mary's, democratic procedures are ingrained in how we conduct business.
A Class Councillor is chosen by each class to represent them on the School Council.
The opinions of the students are sought through a variety of methods, including surveys, student interviews, collective prayer, as well as when determining their class identities at the start of the year and formulating their class regulations.
The "Golden Rules" of the entire school are applicable to everyone and provide a foundation for how we should all conduct ourselves.
The necessity of rules is frequently highlighted during group prayer and during topic work.
All children can learn in a safe atmosphere at St. Mary's thanks to our pastoral policies like the behaviour policy, anti-bullying policy, and racial equality policy.
As a certified "Healthy School," we are dedicated to teaching our students how to maintain their physical fitness so that they can fully enjoy both their childhood and adult life.
At St. Mary's, we do this by helping each child understand their place in a society that is diverse in terms of culture.
Our involvement in building Global Links with the local high school, our status as an international school (which we plan to update soon), and our work in RE and PSHE all contribute to and widen our kids' knowledge and comprehension.
