The democratic process is one which we respect and value. At St Mary's we ensure our children vote for our Head Girls and Boys and their Deputies. This Year 6 class have impressed everyone with their preparation and delivery of thoughtful and inspiring speeches. Ultimately we can only fill four positions. The children have been through a lot of emotions during the voting process, however they have unanimously voted in our new Head Boy, Billy, Head Girl Ebony and their Deputies Max and Athena. Very well done to everyone who took part and of course those who are now in the role for this year. Well done Year 6 for working so hard on your speeches and delivering a great democratic result. #vote #democracy #election #voting #school #leaders #leadership

'Leaders have established a vibrant culture of reading. The teaching of phonics starts as 
soon as children join the school in the Reception class. Staff who teach reading are very well supported so that they develop the expertise that they need.' (Ofsted 2023)
