One of the most important ways a parent can support the education of their child and ensure the child’s social, emotional and academic development is to ensure they attend every day and on time. #### St. Mary’s Catholic Primary School is a Rights Respecting school. ***Article 28 – All children have the right to a good quality education.*** This can only be achieved if your child is attending school and has a good level of attendance. 95% attendance is regarded as the minimum acceptable level of attendance. At St. Mary’s we are striving for every child to achieve a minimum of 96% attendance. ### Parents - [Attendance](https://stmarysjarrow.co.uk/parents/attendance) - [Childcare Provision](https://stmarysjarrow.co.uk/parents/childcare-provision) - [Online Safety](https://stmarysjarrow.co.uk/parents/online-safety) - [Parents](https://stmarysjarrow.co.uk/parents) - [School Letters](https://stmarysjarrow.co.uk/parents/school-letters) - [School Meals](https://stmarysjarrow.co.uk/parents/school-meals) - [School Uniform](https://stmarysjarrow.co.uk/parents/school-uniform) - [Starting School Guide](https://stmarysjarrow.co.uk/starting-school-guide) - [Term Dates](https://stmarysjarrow.co.uk/parents/term-dates) ![St. Mary's Catholic Primary School, Jarrow](https://files.schudio.com/st-mary-s-catholic-primary-school-jarrow/images/logo/logo-footer-with-diocese-02.png) ### St. Mary's Catholic Primary School, Jarrow Ayr Drive Jarrow NE32 4AW 0191 489 8336 ### Trust Information - [Website Terms](https://bccet.org.uk/website-terms) - [Accessibility Statement](https://bccet.org.uk/accessibility-statement) - [Privacy Notice](https://bccet.org.uk/privacy-policy) ### Useful Links: - [Staff Login](https://stmarysjarrow.co.uk/staff-login) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://en-gb.facebook.com/Stmarysjarrow/) © Copyright 2025–2026 St. Mary's Catholic Primary School, Jarrow School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stmarysjarrow.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
