About St Mary's Church of England Primary School, Bradford Abbas

Our school is situated in the centre of Bradford Abbas, a thriving village community around St Mary’s Church, the Rose & Crown Pub, the Village Hall and the Sports & Social Club. With currently 103 pupils on the school roll, our children learn to value the experience of being part of the wonderful community of Bradford Abbas.

The oldest of our school buildings was opened as the village school on Easter Monday in 1856. What we call "the new building" was opened in July 1966. We had a new modular classroom built next to the main school in 2016 replacing the ancient 54 year old timber framed classroom.  In 2007, members of the PTA built an outdoor classroom for the school and this is a very popular place when the weather is good.  In Summer 2011, the new library was built off the main hall with a quiet reflection/storytelling area added to the external orchard area.  Finally, in 2016, the spiritual garden was designed and built using a legacy given to the school from a former Headteacher of the area.

There is a strong relationship between the school and the Church. The school benefits by making use of the Church for religious events and the Vicar is actively involved in Assemblies. Our most recent inspection by Salisbury Diocese found us to be outstanding in every area!

St Mary's is part of two successful and effective educational partnerships: the small schools' cluster and the Sherborne Area Schools' Trust. The schools work together closely for the benefit of all our children in Sherborne and the surrounding areas.

At St Mary's, we offer outstanding teaching and learning, excellent behaviour and a warm, safe and friendly Christian ethos where every individual is valued.  We emphasise the importance of positive relationships and reward.
