Core Values

St Mary’s is a two form entry school serving the Parish of Our Lady of Gillingham within the Diocese of Southwark. We are part of the Medway Local Authority. The primary purpose of the school is to provide an education in a Catholic environment which will provide each pupil with an equal opportunity to experience the love of God, to understand their role and responsibilities in school and in the Catholic and wider communities. Central to everything that we do at St Mary’s is the Catholic ethos whereby all members of the school community are valued - children, parents, staff, governors, visitors etc.

Our school values have been encapsulated into 4 themes:

• Respect God
• Respect each other
• Be responsible
• Take pride in our school.
