St Mary Magdalene Catholic Primary School

Headteacher's Welcome

I know that choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make. So, I am delighted to welcome you to our website and hope that it gives you a flavour of life at the school and what we can offer your child.

St. Mary Magdalene Catholic Primary School is a successful and happy parish school, situated in the beautiful coastal town of Bexhill-on-Sea. As a Christian community in the Catholic tradition, we will nurture your child and care for them in the spirit of Gospel values through the love and forgiveness of Christ and the teachings of the Church.

Our staff provide an array of different learning opportunities, including visits, visitors, events and activities so that children are inspired to learn and to discover what is important to them as unique individuals. In this calm, yet stimulating learning environment, children feel safe, are valued and can flourish. Our children have positive attitudes to learning, behave well and achieve high standards. Children are encouraged to take responsibility for improving their work and to see setbacks and feedback as opportunities to learn and grow. We build children’s confidence and encourage them to develop self-discipline and perseverance, happy to take risks and step out of their comfort zone. Effort, hard work, trying new things and understanding others are celebrated as part of our belief that we are all lifelong learners.

We value our strong partnership with parents and carers. We all share responsibility for our children’s education so that, as partners, we can ensure that children leave our school as happy, confident learners, well prepared to face their next challenges in life.

I hope you enjoy finding out more about St. Mary Magdalene Catholic Primary School by browsing our website. You are more than welcome to visit us, see our wonderful school first hand and meet our friendly children and staff.
