St Mary's Catholic Primary School, Swindon

"Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them." Matthew (18:20)

We believe that:

• Jesus is the role model for all that we do, say and think within the school so that our lives are a living witness to the Gospel.

• Our school is part of the community of love with parish and family.

• Everyone will become confident, enthusiastic learners who take pride in themselves and their achievements.

• Everyone will be challenged to become independent learners with enquiring minds and positive attitudes.

• A happy, safe and healthy environment will be provided where all are nurtured and cared for.

• Excellent standards of behaviour will be maintained with understanding, forgiveness and reconciliation being at the heart of that process.

• All members of our school community will celebrate diversity and respect other beliefs, cultures and ways of life as well as caring for our environment.

• Everyone will see themselves as valued members of a global family.

• Everyone will learn to take responsibility for our choices in life.

• Our young people will have the opportunity and confidence to participate in community activities.

• Our school will continue to develop partnerships with local schools as well as making wider diocesan links.
