A warm welcome to St Mary’s and St Peter’s Church of England Primary School.

St Mary’s and St Peter’s is a Church of England Primary School in the heart of Teddington. Our ‘SMSP School Family’ is made up of wonderful children, dedicated staff, enthusiastic parents and supportive governors.

Our school vision is to live out Jesus’ promise of ‘Life in all its fullness’ (John 10.10). We believe that a high-quality education within a Christian context is the best start a child can have in their school life. We believe that every child should enjoy their education and be happy, healthy and safe at school. Belonging to St Mary’s and St Peter’s means we all work together to create a community where our Christian vision and values are at the heart of the school and where children thrive in all aspects of their learning.

We want our children to be successful lifelong learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens who are able to make a positive contribution to society. We will achieve this by providing a broad, rich and exciting curriculum, which is both inclusive and challenging in order to get the best from every child.

In 2012, our refurbished state-of-the-art premises were opened by the Bishop of London and we enjoy wide ranging and inclusive facilities, with many opportunities for extra-curricular activities.

In 2018, we had a Church School inspection, which described the provision as ‘Outstanding’ in all aspects, stating that ‘The school’s Christian vision of ‘life in all its fullness’ is lived out across the whole school, and results in pupils who achieve highly and treat each other with compassion.’

We hope that you will find our website informative and helpful. Whether you are a prospective parent; somebody who might be interested in working at our school; or are already part of our school community, we hope that there is something here for you.

We are confident that you will see that St Mary’s and St Peter’s Church of England Primary School is a vibrant, happy and fun place to be. We are proud of our children, our staff and the provision we offer.

Kind regards,

Helen Swain

Our Values
We have chosen two parables and two encounters with Jesus to exemplify the four areas of our vision and our Christian values.

Wisdom
God wants us to know that the universe is vast and life is amazing. He wants us to be thankful and appreciate life’s beauty. God wants us to learn and never give up, be creative and curious, develop our talents, and use our knowledge and skills well.

The story of The Wise and Foolish Builders (Matthew 7:24-29) reminds us to be wise and make good choices.

Hope
God wants all his children to know that his love and forgiveness are bigger than everything. God gives us hope: if we fail, we can try again; if things fall apart, it is not the end. God is faithful and we can always trust him. Hope means we can aim high, we can have aspirations to be the very best we can be.

The story of Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10) reminds us that we can have a new start whenever it is needed.

Community
Being part of God’s family is amazing and in his family we are called to work together not on our own, to learn to love each other and to know that everyone is needed. We are not all good at the same things, yet together we can be great and share our talents.

The story of The Paralysed Man and the Four Friends (Mark 2:1-12) reminds us that we should build a community of kindness, friendship and love.

Dignity
However small we may feel, God knows us, notices us and loves each of us. Everyone is someone and everyone matters. God has made each of us for a purpose. He wants us to be courageous advocates serving others both within our community and further afield.

The story of The Good Samaritan (Luke 10: 25-37) reminds us that we should show compassion and respect for all.
