Welcome to our much loved and valued Catholic Primary School. St Mary's is a Voluntary Aided co-educational Primary School which is part of the St John the Baptist Multi Academy Trust. Our school is enriched by close links with St Mary and St Peter Primary School in Gorleston, our other Catholic schools within the MAT and our local and global communities.
Our community promotes high standards of teaching, learning and behaviour and we believe that a strong partnership is essential between school and each child's family to enable children to learn, grow and reach their full potential. As God's family we nurture and inspire our children by broadening their horizons as they learn.

To coincide with the date when the construction of the school finished we had a special Mass for the whole school.
