St Mary's is a Catholic Primary Voluntary Academy in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Nottingham, teaching boys and girls from the ages of four to eleven and organised into six classes.

It was established in 1874 and after many years in different locations in the town moved to its present site in 1966. In 1972 it expanded from four classes to its present six. It attracts pupils from a very wide area of North Lincolnshire.

In 2007 Ofsted said "St Mary's school provides a good standard of education and good value for money. This is how the school sees itself and it is right to do so. As a result of good teaching, pupils achieve well from a starting point that is typical for their age."

The distinctive nature of Catholic education is a commitment to:

• The search for excellence as an integral part of the spiritual quest.
• The recognition of the uniqueness of the individual made in God's image and loved by Him.
• Education of the whole person based on the belief that the human and divine are inseparable.
• The education of all with the particular duty to care for the poor and disadvantaged.
• The opportunity for moral principles to be put into practice within a Christian community.
