St Mary's Roman Catholic Primary School is a Roman Catholic primary school in Crescent Lane, Clapham, South London, England. The school maintains strong links with St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Clapham, after which it was named.

History

The current primary school is the product of the merger of St Mary's Junior Boys' School, founded by the Redemptorist Brothers in 1907, and St Mary's Mixed Infants and Junior Girls' School, founded by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in 1861. They merged in 1993.[1]

Until 1992 the school was split over two sites as junior boys were based at St. Alphonsus Road, Clapham, but the St. Alphonsus Road site has since closed and all pupils are now based at Crescent Lane.
