Welcome to St. Mary’s Catholic Primary School! 

We’re delighted to welcome you to our warm, inclusive community. As part of Buckfast Abbey and our Plymouth CAST multi-academy trust, we’re dedicated to providing a vibrant, faith-centred education as part of thirty-five schools and one nursery in the Diocese of Plymouth. You can learn more about our shared mission with Plymouth CAST here.

At St. Mary’s, we’re more than a school—we’re a family that prioritises the wellbeing, safety, and happiness of every child. For information on our safeguarding policies, please visit our School Safeguarding Information. We warmly welcome families to explore our Foundation Stage Unit. Detailed information and an application form are available in our Early Years section, and the school office is happy to provide hard copies of any policy upon request.

We were overjoyed to receive a letter from the Secretary of State for Education, commending St. Mary’s as one of the top 1% of primary schools in England for excellence in reading and writing!

Our mission at St. Mary’s is to nurture kindness, curiosity, and a joy for learning in every child. With an engaging, creative curriculum, we aim to develop confident, resilient, and independent learners. Together with our committed staff, parents, and governors, we’ve created a supportive community where every child can thrive.

We invite you to be part of this journey at St. Mary’s Catholic Primary School, where every day brings new opportunities for growth, joy, and discovery!
