Transition Meeting
Welcome
‘Working Together Achieving Success’
Mission Statement
At Shinfield St Mary’s we seek to develop a love of learning.
For our children, this encompasses academic, moral, social,
physical and spiritual development.
We believe everyone is precious in the sight of God and we
value the individual gifts brought by each and every member of
our community.
We aim to forge strong links with our families and the wider world
and we endeavour to offer an educational experience which
will prepare our children to thrive in the changing world in which
we live.
