Welcome to St Mary’s Catholic Primary School

I’m delighted to introduce myself as the new Headteacher of St Mary’s - a school rooted in faith, joy, and a deep sense of belonging. As a former pupil and long-standing staff member, I’m proud to lead a community where every child is known, loved, and inspired to achieve. Together with our dedicated staff and supportive families, we celebrate success, nurture belief, and build a culture of kindness and excellence.

Mrs Louise Cooke, Headteacher
