We are delighted to welcome you to St Mary Cray Primary Academy! 

At St Mary Cray there is a clear focus on academic achievement, our children are motivated and have high standards of behaviour. Children are encouraged to participate and succeed to the best of their ability across a broad curriculum that reaches beyond the classroom. Our children have opportunities to learn through a wide range of educational visits and events, we organise residential trips in Year 6 and all classes go on visits to complement and enhance their learning experiences.

Our school very much has the feel of a village school, as a small school there is a very strong sense of nurture where all the children are known to the staff and children of all years have the opportunity to play and grow together. This gives us the chance to lead learning with the children very much as part of a family.

The school has been an integral part of the community for over 100 years, we are an active member of the Spring Partnership Trust of schools that offers training and learning for staff and children. 

Our Motto

Where children love to learn and live with passion.

Our Headteachers and senior leaders work closely together to continuously develop standards of teaching and the opportunities available to our pupils. We are proud to say that all our schools are happy communities where pupils and staff alike work hard, get on well together and want the best for each other.

Within our schools, we have many knowledgeable and skilled leaders who are experienced at leading education development. Our schools share a set of core values and principles which underpin our multi academy trust systems. However, we are committed to each school preserving its identity within its local community in order to serve local needs.
