Welcome from
Executive Headteacher
- Mr Constable-Phelps
St Mary’s Church of England Primary and Nursery is a high-performing, exceptionally diverse and deeply inclusive school at the heart of Southampton. Over the past five years, we have built a school of which we are immensely proud. Our children come to us from many different backgrounds, cultures and starting points, but our ambition for every one of them is the same: to flourish. When Ofsted visited in 2023, inspectors said: “Pupils flourish at this exceptional school.” That remains at the heart of St Mary’s today.
We believe that every child has a gift. Something they can be proud of, something that makes them shine and something they can share with the world. Our responsibility is to find that gift, nurture it and give every child the knowledge, confidence and opportunities to fulfil their potential. Our staff are the secret to our success. They know our children, believe in them and consistently go the extra mile to ensure that every child is known, valued and challenged to achieve their very best.
St Mary’s is more than a place where children come to learn. It is a community in which children belong, families are welcomed and difference is celebrated. We are proud of what we have built and even more ambitious about what comes next Come and see St Mary’s for yourself. Come and see what it means for children to flourish.

Some of our pupils enjoyed a fantastic visit to St Mary’s Stadium today to take part in an Anti-Bullying event organised by Saints Foundation.
Through three engaging workshops, the children explored kindness, respect, inclusion and the importance of standing up against bullying.
A brilliant experience with some important messages for us all to take away! 👏
Thank you to Saints Foundation for having us!

What a fantastic week of learning in Year R!
In Maths, the children have been exploring 2D shapes, focusing on recognising squares and rectangles and learning about their different properties. 🔲🟦
In Topic, the children have been learning about Diwali and Remembrance Day, exploring different traditions and beginning to understand why these occasions are important. 🪔🌺
We also had lots of fun taking part in our Children in Need Fun Run! The children showed wonderful enthusiasm as they joined in with this special event. 🏃♀️🏃♂️💛
Well done, Year R, for another brilliant week full of learning, fun and lots of smiles! 🌟👏 1 Likes
This week, our Pathways children have been exploring their new topic of colours, focusing on one colour at a time. 🎨 Through sensory play, practical activities, sorting and matching, the children have enjoyed discovering and recognising different colours in a variety of ways. 🔴🟡🔵 Some have even begun recording their learning on paper, showing their developing understanding! ✏️
We have also continued to focus on developing the children's social communication skills, encouraging them to take turns, play alongside their friends and begin to share resources with others. 🧩🤝
The children are making lovely progress in their early maths and literacy skills. 🔢📚 As they become increasingly familiar with classroom routines and expectations, it has been wonderful to see their growing confidence, willingness to try new experiences and developing independence. 🌟
We are so proud of the children's efforts, enthusiasm and achievements. Keep up the fantastic work, Pathways! ⭐👏 2 Likes
