A group of children working together to solve a puzzle. The puzzle is a piece of paper that has been cut up and the children are putting it back together.
Two children are on an outdoor climbing wall. One is higher than the other and they are attached to ropes. This was taken during a residential.

 Genesis 28:12

‘I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go.’​

Our Vision is that through God's love we will create an environment in which our children

'Learn, Transform and Grow'

Where children are nurtured  and enabled to explore their ideas. Where they will  be safe and build the resilience needed to meet life's demands.

Our children know that they can make mistakes and be forgiven just as we learn from The Prodigal Son.

We ensure all children flourish academically, physically, in their character and creativity and in spirit so that they know that they are loved.

Our Vision is lived through our Values:
Truth, Koinonia, Compassion and Endurance.

​
St Mary's is a member the Oxford Diocesan School Trust and we work with our partners within the Trust.
​ 

Since September 2023 we are in an Executive Leadership partnership with our ODST friends at Wroxton Primary School, just outside Banbury.
 
Please take a look around our website to find out more about what we can offer your child and family. Do not hesitate to contact us about places in our inclusive school, where we admit children from the term of their 3rd birthday. We welcome visits to school to meet myself the team and see school ‘in action’. Please email or call the office to arrange an appointment.

St Mary's School continues to be a 'GOOD' school, OFSTED March 2022 "Pupils enjoy their time at this welcoming school. They believe it to be a compassionate place in which to learn, grow and make friends.
Pupils also enjoy learning new things."

"The inclusive culture is clear and consistent with the prominent school values.

As a result, pupils get the start they need and feel that they belong. "
​

"Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve well.

This is because leaders identify individual needs quickly and respond skilfully in a holistic way."
