Headteacher's Welcome

On behalf of all the staff, pupils and governors, I would like to welcome you to St Mary’s R.C. Primary School website. We hope our website is both informative and provides an insight into the caring Christian community we endeavour to create here at St Mary’s.

Our school is situated in the small village of Osbaldeston in the beautiful Ribble Valley. At St Mary’s, our mission is to provide a happy, safe and inspiring environment in which all members of the school community live by the values of Christ. We pride ourselves on placing our pupils’ needs at the heart of our work and strive to establish firm and lifelong foundations whereby pupils’ thrive so that they can fulfill their potential and become the best version of themselves.

St Mary’s provides a school community in which everyone is valued and welcomed and Jesus is placed at the centre of all that it does. It is a school where children can grow and develop as individuals within a flourishing Catholic environment.

Year 6 Pupil's Welcome

Welcome to Saint Mary's RC Primary school’s website. On our website you will find out more about the amazing things that we do at our lovely school, and the challenges we face in our learning.

In our school we have an amazing Buddy system. Each child has a special friend they call a Buddy, we spend time together each week and take care of each other during the school day and even organise playtime activities..

We have spend time each week looking at the news linked to UN Rights of a child, Protected Characteristics and British Values, which are displayed around school. We have elected our pupil council who make sure that we are listened to and our views are respected. We also have a Mission Team, who work hard to help us follow in the footsteps of Jesus by organising spaces for prayerful reflection in school, organising charity events and recognising pupils who show Catholic Social Teaching characteristics in celebration assembly each week. 

We are lucky to be close to our lovely church, where we attend mass with school each term. Father David loves to hear us sing, he makes us laugh. We plan, lead and take part in Celebrations of the Word each week,  and we enjoy Holy Week in School following Jesus' journey to Easter and  we enjoy the youngest children  performing the Nativity in our lovely hall.

There are lots of school clubs and groups we can join, like the Eco Council, Team Captains, Mission Team, Sports Clubs, Wellbeing Warriors, Happiness Heroes and Choir. 

We would love you to come and visit our school!
