St Mary's Roman Catholic Primary School, Chipping

Every student at St. Mary's School receives an education of the greatest calibre in a setting that is both secure and stimulating.
Our goal is to raise confident, rounded kids who are content and prepared to face the challenges of the twenty-first century.
We want our students to have a genuine sense of the local and larger communities, respect for themselves and others, and lifelong learning.
Our goal is to help our students become self-assured, enthusiastic, lifelong learners who aren't afraid to take chances to advance their education.
There are several opportunities for students to strengthen their skills in English and mathematics through hands-on activities and situations that they will encounter in real life.
Children at Foundation Stage follow the Early Years curriculum and are encouraged to take charge of their own education under the teacher's close supervision.
Many of the good concepts that guide the Early Years curriculum are also taken into account when developing the curriculum for grades three through eight.
Children in Key Stages 1 and 2 follow our curriculum, which incorporates the National Curriculum.
At St. Mary's School, we want to make sure that every student is completely engaged in reading and that they take enjoyment in reading on their own time.
With the help of the Read Write Inc. programme, which has received excellent ratings from Ofsted, the kids continue their reading adventure with us.
Our kids learn the fundamental abilities required to recognise letters and letter combinations as sounds from Read Write Inc.
This excellent programme will give our kids the skills they need to become accomplished readers and writers by the conclusion of the first year.
We also employ a wide range of reading programmes, including Oxford Reading Tree, New Way, Rigby Rockets, Fireflies, Snapdragons, and many others, which the kids take home to read with their parents.
Other occasions and activities, such as World Book Day, performances, assemblies, and poetry day, are held throughout the academic year to encourage a love of reading.
