At St Mary’s, we are strongly dedicated to delivering an exceptional education that is both aspirational and inclusive, grounded in our mission statement- “filled with the wisdom of Mary, we nurture a love of learning; serve others with compassionate hearts and live life to the full as children of God.” Inspired by the teachings of Christ, our curriculum is designed to help each child achieve their maximum potential through three essential curriculum drivers. These drivers not only shape our educational philosophy but also demonstrate our commitment to providing a holistic and enriching learning experience in a Christ-centred setting.

Our curriculum is abundant in vocabulary and knowledge. We hold the view that a robust vocabulary is essential for effective communication and critical thinking. Drawing inspiration from Christ as the Great Teacher, our lessons incorporate a wide array of vocabulary, enabling children to express themselves assertively and engage with intricate concepts in all subjects, ultimately enhancing their comprehension and insight.

We offer a variety of experiences that expand our students’ perspectives and cultivate a profound awareness of the world they inhabit. In response to Christ’s call to love and serve, our curriculum is rich with opportunities that inspire our students to think both creatively and compassionately. Through cultural excursions and practical projects, these experiences play a crucial role in shaping well-rounded individuals equipped to succeed in a connected and constantly evolving world.

At the core of our educational philosophy is community awareness. We inspire our students to engage actively and compassionately in their communities, embodying Christ’s teaching to “love your neighbour as yourself.” Through a range of projects and partnerships, we emphasize the significance of social responsibility while nurturing a sense of belonging and purpose. This emphasis on community enables our children to cultivate strong moral values and a dedication to positively influencing their environment.

At St Mary’s, our dynamic curriculum goes beyond a simple educational structure; it serves as a means to cultivate the hearts, minds, and spirits of our children, enabling them to reach their full potential while faithfully embracing the teachings of Christ.
