"To ensure that Curriculum provides a Catholic Christian setting in which children can grow in understanding and in the acquisition of skills, attitudes and values. "To create and maintain interaction (links) between home, parish and school and the wider community." Boys at the school tend to go on to the Oratory, Gunnersbury, Cardinal Vaughan or St Benedicts. Girls have the choice of Sacred Heart in Hammersmith, St. Augustine's Priory or Gumley House Convent. The school has its own excellent web site www.stmarys.hounslow.sch.uk/ Key Stage 2 Results for Local Primaries How do you get in? The school gets three times as many applications from weekly mass-goers as it has places so forget about lie-ins on a Sunday morning. Children should be baptised Catholic and parents should look to make a contribution to the parish even before their children are accepted into the school. The application will need to be signed by a parish priest. Contact details
