Welcome to St Mary's Catholic First School. We are a friendly school community close to the heart of Dorchester. Our school has close links to Holy Trinity Church. We welcome families of any faith or none. However, we are proud of how the values of the Church empower us to discuss the world in a way that encourages children to think of service to others and to make a difference to the community they live in.
We recognise that in placing your child in our care, you expect the very best from us too and we will strive to ensure that your child flourishes whilst they are with us. We offer a wide range of learning opportunities through an exciting and engaging curriculum. We have a dedicated staff that work tirelessly to support your children to achieve their potential. When children leave St Mary's Catholic First School, they are confident, enthusiastic learners ready to embark on the next stage of their education.
We believe that education has to be a partnership between families and the school. Please come and visit our school if you are considering us as the school for your child, or if your child is already attending, please remember to always stay in close contact with us.
If you would like any further information about our fabulous school, please feel free to contact the office to arrange a tour or a meeting with myself.
