St Mary's CE Primary School
Love Learning. Love Each Other.

A welcome from our

Chair of Governors

The Governors at St. Mary’s are committed to support our Head Teacher and all the staff in providing a stable, caring and Christian environment where our children will “Love Learning. Love each other”.  We are a happy school with excellent relationships between our children, staff, parents and governors.    

The Board of Governance are proud of the strong Christian ethos at St Mary’s.  We have very close links with our Parish Church, St. Mary’s Prestwich where our school regularly worship with the local community.   

We look forward to welcoming you to our school.

Mrs C Almond

The Governors, who meet several times a term, have a range of responsibilities for the school. The Board of Governors, in partnership with the Headteacher, have a key strategic role in planning the school’s development, making sure that school resources are used effectively to raise the achievement of pupils.                

The main resource of the school is the people who work in it. Therefore, it follows that the wellbeing and professional development of teachers and all staff, is a priority for the Board of Governors.
