Why are we here?

Jesus told us to love one another.

The governing body of St. Mary’s Catholic Primary School are seeking to appoint a practising Catholic to the position of Headteacher. We are looking for someone who will build on our strong Catholic ethos and share our whole school vision. 

St. Mary’s Catholic Primary School is situated close to Workington and the beautiful Solway Coast.

Recently we have made significant investments in our outdoor learning environment enabling us to enhance learning beyond the classroom. St. Mary’s is proud of its extended provision and has strong links with the consortium of Workington schools. 

In November 2022 Ofsted judged St Mary’s to be a good school. Pupil behaviour and attitudes were judged as outstanding.

Ofsted stated ‘Leaders have designed a broad curriculum. It is ambitious for all pupils, including

pupils with SEND’. They also noted that ‘Pupils behave exceptionally well. They enjoy their learning immensely. They are polite, courteous, and well mannered. Pupils are mature and articulate.’

• a highly supportive Governing Body that is driven to ensure that our children reach their full potential;
• a dedicated, skilled and mutually supportive staff, committed to care for and develop each child;
