Discover what makes us unique
Welcome to Our School
At St Mary’s, we’re proud to be a diverse, inclusive and values-led community where children feel safe, supported and inspired to grow. From our unique ethos and welcoming environment to our skilled staff team and strong links with church and community, this section gives you a window into what makes our school so special.
A Warm Welcome from our Headteacher
At St Mary’s Church of England Primary School, we believe every child is a unique gift — full of potential, curiosity and joy.
Rooted in our Christian values and inspired by John 10:10, our vision is simple but profound: to bring out the best in each other so that every member of our school community can know ‘life in all its fullness’.
We are proud to serve a vibrant, diverse community in Selly Oak, enriched by global cultures and perspectives. Whether you’re just joining us or have been part of our journey for years, you’ll find a school filled with kindness, warmth and opportunity — a place where children feel safe, supported and excited to learn.
Our values of Forgiveness, Perseverance, Honesty, Compassion, Courage and Respect — the ‘Sunshine 6’ — shine through everything we do, guiding our decisions, shaping our relationships and helping our children grow not just academically, but emotionally and spiritually too.
I invite you to explore our school and discover what makes St Mary’s such a special place to learn, grow and belong.
With warmest regards,
Mr Warland
Headteacher
