St Mary's C of E Primary School is proud to be part of the Rise Multi Academy Trust.

Rise is a family of schools. We work with and for each other.

Our schools each have their own vision and values. Many schools had these before they joined the Rise family. These all complement the work of Rise to enable pupils and staff to ‘flourish and succeed’.

Rise Vision and Values

Our values are more than just words on a page — they define who we are, how we act, and our commitment to the communities we serve.

At Rise Multi Academy Trust, we place these values at the heart of everything we do, shaping our actions and focusing on what truly matters to us:

Collaborative

We believe in working together, fostering partnerships to achieve shared goals and better outcomes for all.

Inclusive

We strive to ensure that everyone has equal access to opportunities and resources, creating an environment where no one is left behind or marginalised.

Compassionate

We are committed to showing empathy, care, and concern for others, fostering a culture of kindness and understanding.

Truthful

Honesty and sincerity guide our words and actions. We value transparency and authenticity in all that we do.

Respectful

We treat everyone with dignity and respect, fostering an environment where every individual feels valued and heard.

These values are central to how we operate as a trust, ensuring that we remain true to our vision of helping every child flourish and succeed.

We are proud that all our schools are now deemed to be ‘Good’ in the eyes of Ofsted. However, we want that milestone to be a marker on our journey, rather than the destination itself. We want Rise schools to be great schools.

Our family of schools are all different shapes and sizes, serving rich and varied communities and that is one of the many things we love about our Trust.
