We were delighted to achieve the Leading Parent Partnership Award for the third time, following a rigorous final verification visit in September. The report which followed a while after was very complimentary about the school, these are some of the comments from the report: "This is the third time St Mary's has won the Leading Parent Partnership Award, testament to the importance they attach to the value of strong and effective home school partnership.' St Mary's provides a warm, welcoming and inspirational environment ......displays are of a gold standard...' The reception area is comfortable, professionally staffed and welcoming" The assessor spoke to a group of parents on the day of final verification and reported them as saying 'everything they do (in school ) is hand in hand with parents. Well done everybody, a successful partnership which we will continue to strengthen and deepen.
