In St. Mary's PS, we strive to develop children's literacy skills through a wide range of purposeful activities so that they may interact effectively with the world around them, express themselves creatively and communicate confidently. Children's language and literacy experiences take place within a rich and stimulating environment. The school encourages interaction and promotes communication as a tool for learning.

The school provides extra support to particular children through the SELB ‘Reading Partnership' Programme.
Mrs Loughran is the school's Literacy Co-ordinator. A copy of the school's ‘Language & Literacy Policy' is available from the school on request.
