About Wakefield St Marys Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School
St. Mary’s is a church school, in the heart of our community, with a strong Christian ethos which is woven throughout all aspects of school life. We hold is a strong belief that all members of our school community are unique and have diverse gifts and talents which deserve to be nurtured and celebrated. Collectively, we work to ensure all feel valued, develop a positive sense of self-worth and a realisation that all can aspire to fulfil their dreams and ambitions. We believe that it is important that children are encouraged to widen their vision and expectations and so, out of classroom visits and experiences play a key role in our school, helping to ensure that the children leave school with happy memories of every school day.
St Mary’s Primary School is situated within walking distance of the centre of the City of Wakefield in a socially deprived area. The school is a Church Aided Primary School with a strong Christian ethos. It has close links to the parish of East Wakefield. Many of the children are from Muslim families, Eastern European and African backgrounds. The school is well regarded and parents speak warmly of its provision.
The school caters for children from 2 - 11 years. There are currently 245 pupils on the school roll including part-time pupils in Lower Foundation Stage. Many of our children speak English as an Additional Language. We work closely with various groups to enhance provision for children. We have developed stronger partnerships with other EAL schools in the district and other CE (VA) Primary Schools. Through these partnerships we work together to address specific issues for our schools.
St Mary’s is actively involved with the local community and we encourage parental engagement and interaction
