Welcome from
Executive Headteacher
- Mr Constable-Phelps
St Mary’s Church of England Primary and Nursery is a high-performing, exceptionally diverse and deeply inclusive school at the heart of Southampton. Over the past five years, we have built a school of which we are immensely proud. Our children come to us from many different backgrounds, cultures and starting points, but our ambition for every one of them is the same: to flourish. When Ofsted visited in 2023, inspectors said: “Pupils flourish at this exceptional school.” That remains at the heart of St Mary’s today.
We believe that every child has a gift. Something they can be proud of, something that makes them shine and something they can share with the world. Our responsibility is to find that gift, nurture it and give every child the knowledge, confidence and opportunities to fulfil their potential. Our staff are the secret to our success. They know our children, believe in them and consistently go the extra mile to ensure that every child is known, valued and challenged to achieve their very best.
St Mary’s is more than a place where children come to learn. It is a community in which children belong, families are welcomed and difference is celebrated. We are proud of what we have built and even more ambitious about what comes next Come and see St Mary’s for yourself. Come and see what it means for children to flourish.

September is Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month. Swipe to learn the key symptoms of the five gynaecological cancers, so you know what to look out for.
You know your body better than anyone. Knowing what’s normal for you can help you spot when something changes.
Having any of these symptoms does not definitely mean you have cancer, but it’s important to get checked by a GP.
If your symptoms are caused by cancer, finding it early may mean it’s easier to treat.

We all love a first-day-back photograph. New uniform, new shoes, a new year group and a moment worth celebrating. But before you post it online, look carefully at what else the photograph tells people.
The example below shows just how much information can accidentally be shared in a single image: a street name, house number, vehicle registration, school, child’s name, year group and age. Put together, those details can reveal far more about a child and their family than you intended.
Organised crime and exploitation are very real issues, including here in Southampton. Information shared publicly online can be copied, saved and used by people you never intended to see it.
Before posting those lovely first-day photographs:
☑️ Check the background for street signs, house numbers and landmarks
☑️ Avoid showing vehicle registration plates
☑️ Keep school names, logos and badges out of view where possible
☑️ Think carefully before sharing your child’s full name, age or year group
☑️ Check who can actually see your posts and review your privacy settings
☑️ Remember that information from several innocent posts can be pieced together
Celebrate the moment. Take the photograph. Keep the memory. Just think before you share it.
Once something is online, you cannot control where it goes next. 89 Likes
