About our school

St Mary’s School Rutherglen is a warm, welcoming and forward-thinking community where every child is known, valued, and supported to thrive. With modern facilities and a rich curriculum that includes specialist subjects such as Art and Italian, we provide a vibrant and engaging learning environment that inspires creativity, curiosity and a love of learning.
We understand that choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions a parent can make. At St Mary’s, we believe that learning should be diverse, hands-on, collaborative and meaningful—preparing students for success in the 21st century. Our passionate and dedicated teachers create nurturing spaces where each child feels safe, supported and confident to grow—academically, socially, and emotionally.
Parents are valued as key partners in their child’s education, and we work together to build a positive, encouraging foundation for lifelong learning. At the heart of our mission is a deep commitment to child safety and the wellbeing of every student, ensuring that each child is given the opportunity to shine in their own unique way.
St Mary’s School is more than just a place of learning—it’s a place where children are encouraged to dream big, grow strong, and become compassionate, capable individuals.
