Welcome to Our School

On behalf of our Directors and staff, a warm welcome to St Mary's Church of England Primary School. Located in the beautiful village of Colton, St Mary's is a nurturing and vibrant learning community where we are deeply committed to helping every child discover their potential and achieve their goals.

We take immense pride in creating an environment where each child is cherished and valued as an individual. At St Mary's, education is about the whole child—fostering their academic success alongside their personal and spiritual growth.

Our Christian Vision: "Believe and Achieve"

Our distinct school identity is anchored in a powerful and uplifting Christian vision. Drawing inspiration from the scriptures of Isaiah, we anchor our daily school life in the belief that our children can truly flourish under God:

"But those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not faint." — Isaiah 40:31

Driven by our core values of Love, Friendship, and Respect, we provide the launchpad that enables our children to build resilience, find their strength, and "fly like eagles" in everything they do.

Why Work With Us?

When you join the staff at St Mary's, you are entering a workplace fueled by aspiration, mutual respect, and a profound sense of purpose. We believe that to help our pupils soar, we must provide a supportive environment where our educators can do the same.

• A Values-Driven Workplace: Our core values of love, friendship, and respect apply just as much to our staff team as they do to our pupils. You will find a collegiate, welcoming atmosphere where your professional well-being is prioritized.

• An Inspiring Mandate: There is something incredibly rewarding about working toward a vision as bold as helping children "mount up with wings like eagles." Our staff are empowered to be creative, ambitious, and deeply impactful in their teaching.

• A Cherished Community: Because we focus heavily on the individual, you will have the privilege of working in a school where you can truly get to know your pupils and see the direct, daily impact of your dedication and care.

If you are a passionate, motivated professional who wants to work within a supportive school family that inspires both children and adults to Believe and Achieve, we would love to welcome you to St Mary's.
