Welcome to Mary Exton Primary School.  

We are the very proud co-headteachers of Mary Exton Primary School: Mrs. Paterson and Mrs. Clements.  We feel truly privileged to lead such a wonderful school and to have the opportunity of ensuring that each child at Mary Exton Primary receives the best possible education in their primary years.  We were recently visited by Ofsted who rated our school as GOOD.

Their report highlighted what it is like to attend our school, saying: "Mary Exton Primary School is a happy place for pupils to learn and play. The school is like a big family where everybody supports each other and welcomes others. Positive relationships are quickly forged between staff and children in the early years and this mutual respect is further strengthened as pupils progress through the school."  If you would like to read our report in full, please follow this link: Mary Exton Ofted Report.

Mary Exton Primary is an inclusive and nurturing one-form entry school, where we offer a caring, creative and stimulating environment for all our children, staff and parents to learn together, grow and succeed.  We value each and every child and champion the differences in all of us.  We believe that to support our children we need to work in partnership with parents but also with many other professionals to ensure that our children gain the best start to their learning journey. This was highlighted when we gained the award for being 'Partnership School of the Year' in 2021.  Please do read about this in more detail below.

We believe that children’s happiness and emotional wellbeing is vital and is the foundation for children to be able to thrive and learn. We aim to give children positive and memorable experiences of learning and relationships, which will help to make them responsible, responsive citizens who appreciate the value of community. This is evident in the Kite Mark we received for Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health (more details below).

We strongly believe that primary school is where a love of learning is built and the foundations for all knowledge are gained. Primary school is an exciting, memorable place to be and we ensure this by enriching our curriculum through educational visits; visitors to school and embracing our topics, bringing the learning to life.
