From the St Mary's CofE (VC) J and I School
At St. Mary's, we value each person. We take great satisfaction in creating a friendly, welcoming environment. As a typical small village school, our size enables us to get to know each student individually, customise their education to meet their needs, and protect and love them. Our kids form close bonds with one another and identify with the Mill Bank clan. We instruct kids in the Christian values that Jesus taught us, including how to treat people with courtesy and respect. We focus on teaching kids to think for themselves and to be confident in who they are. We think that if our kids don't like learning, they won't do well in school. Our staff works hard to develop engaging learning environments so that each child can succeed and ultimately excel in all subject areas. St. Mary's takes great pride in its Christian roots. We continue to have tight ties to the Cottonstones church, and we are firm believers in instilling in young people a foundational understanding of Christianity. We want our children to have a sound sense of right and wrong, and we promote honesty and respect for others. Our website is meant to be informative, we hope. Please get in touch with us if you have any questions or would like to visit our school.
