Making a Positive Contribution
Here at St. Mary's. we strive to ensure that our children make a positive contribution back to our local, national and international communities. We achieve this through charity fund raising, taking part in community events and through making our children aware of Global issues. We also develop this through themed assemblies, visits out of school and through having guest speakers in school.
