Thank you for visiting the website for St. Mary's C.E. Middle School. We are a 9-13 middle school situated on the outskirts of Puddletown, a small village in the beautiful Dorset countryside. We are a church school with an ethos built on the core Christian values of respect, forgiveness, justice, uniqueness, equality, acceptance and kindness.
We look to inspire our school community and give them the tools to thrive in the modern world, summed up by our school aim of 'Inspire today to shape tomorrow'. We are proud to have been assessed as an outstanding church school in our last two Church of England inspections. We expect the highest standards in both academic work and behaviour and we place our children at the centre of everything we do.
The pupils, staff and governors are very proud of our school and we hope that this website will allow you to see why. We look forward to having the opportunity to meet you in person.
At St Mary's we feel it is very important to keep your child educated about staying safe online and how to communicate on social media. We do not tolerate cyber bullying and will deal with these incidents. However it is the parents responsibility to check and monitor their child's use of social media on their phone or other devices. Please also be aware of the age restrictions on these social media apps such as Instagram and Facebook, in which legally you have to be 13 years old to use. This is mainly because pupils are not old enough to know how to communicate properly online, which can lead to cyber-bullying.
