🌟 We're Number 1 for Attendance! 🌟

At St Mary’s, we are delighted to celebrate a fantastic achievement. According to the Department for Education's similar schools comparison report, our school has been ranked 1st out of 21 similar schools for overall attendance, with an attendance rate of 95.2%. This places us above all 20 of our comparison schools and well above the median attendance rate of 93.7%.

This success is the result of the dedication of our staff, the commitment of our families and the enthusiasm of our pupils, who understand the importance of being in school every day. Regular attendance helps children achieve their full potential, build lasting friendships and make the most of every learning opportunity.

We would also like to recognise the exceptional leadership of Mrs Lisa King, our Headteacher. Since taking on the role, Mrs King has worked tirelessly alongside staff, pupils and families to improve attendance across the school. Through high expectations, strong relationships with families and a relentless focus on ensuring every child receives the best possible education, attendance has become a real strength of our school community.

This achievement belongs to everyone in our school family, and we would like to thank all parents and carers for their continued support. By working together, we are ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive.
