Statutory Information
To comply with legislation all academies must publish specific information on their websites as outlined by the Department for Education.
To make this content easier to find we have compiled a list of links to all our statutory information.
It is our core aim that all pupils will achieve their potential, learning every day, so they may have choices in and about their future. We are 'building a caring community, where all can learn and shine.' We believe that each and every child should have the same opportunities, regardless of background or life experience.
All information on our website is available in hard copy by request from the school office
Admission Arrangements
St. Mary's CE Primary School is part of Initio Learning Trust and admissions policies are agreed by the Trustees for all the schools. We welcome applications for places at our School. Please contact the School Office if you require further information at any time.

Ofsted
Ofsted (Office for Standards in Education) inspects all state schools in England at least every three years. After the inspection is done, Ofsted publishes a report which is available to the public. When assessing a school, Ofsted inspectors consider:
- The school’s assessment of its own performance
- Performance data
- Pupils’ work
- Lesson observations
- Input from parents
- Discussions with pupils and staff
Performance Data
Due to Covid 19, results from the academic year 2019-2020 are not available. The government will not publish KS2 school level data for the 2021 to 2022 academic year. They have archived data from the 2018 to 2019 academic year because they recognise that the data from that year may no longer reflect current performance.
To understand how SATs are marked, when you will see your child’s results, and what do the marks mean? Click on the link below which explains everything you need to know about the Y2 and Y6 SATs results.
Another useful document called Information for schools and parents: Primary school progress measures, also details the way schools measure primary school performance at the end of key stage 2 (KS2). Click on the link below to view the document.

Pupil Premium
What is the Pupil Premium?
This is an amount of money the Government allocates to a school to support children who are entitled to Free School Meals (FSM) or have had FSM in the last 6 years, children who are looked after (CIC) and children who are from a service family. It is the aim to enable these pupils to reach their full potential and have the same learning opportunities as all other children.
