Ethos
Excellence in Caring, Sharing and Learning.
Astbury St Mary’s aim is to create a Christian environment providing a broad education and so aiding the development of children, teachers, parents and the local community. The school strives to promote quality and endeavours to build the foundations of a good academic, social and Christian education. The school nurtures the characters and personalities of its children and helps them to mature. It envelops the social, academic and Christian skills required to assist in their growth, creating a favourable environment for the children to develop a love of reading and literature and increase their skills in mathematics, sciences and the arts. The school welcomes all the latest technologies and strives to include them wherever possible.
We want our children to receive a balanced view of the world in which we live and be prepared for the next stage of their education.
