St. Mary Cray Primary Academy
A warm welcome from
Our Headteacher
St Mary Cray Primary Academy is set on the boundary of Orpington and enjoys views out towards Lullingstone. With the look and feel of a village school, we strive to create a calm caring environment for all of our children to learn and thrive.
Our school follows three values of Ambition, Collaboration and Equity and expects the best for our students.
What’s special about St Mary Cray Primary School?
At St Mary Cray Primary School, we exist to inspire our community, empower children with the agency to succeed and shape aspirational futures.
Village School
We are a one-form entry school on the edge of Orpington, and that 'village school' feel is exactly what we believe makes us special - every child is known and cared for, every face is familiar, and we all grow together.
Outdoor Learning
All children in EYFS and KS1 access our outdoor learning environment once a week. During this time, they are encouraged to build confidence, resilience, and develop hands-on skills alongside their peers.

Gathering together to celebrate the Harvest Festival today! 🌾 We took a walk down to our local church to drop off food donations for those in need and joined in on all the traditional hymns. Grateful for our community, good music, and the chance to give back. 🍞🍎🍂 #HarvestFestival #CommunityFirst #GivingBack #AutumnVibes #GratefulHeart

Finding their rhythm and discovering the joy of music 🎵 Our reception class had so much fun during their weekly music session with the amazing team from BYMT (Bromley Youth Music Trust). From clapping along to the beat and singing along, our little musicians are already making big moves 👏! Thank you as always BYMT #reception #earlyyearsmusic #BYMT #EYFS #learningthroughmusic
