At St Mary’s encourage our pupils to strive for excellence and this begins with the choices they make each day. Our school virtues underpin everything we say and do. Our pupils nurture and develop aspects of their character that ensure they will become positive, successful citizens of the future. As they live out the virtues they journey in love, showing that they too can walk in the footsteps of Jesus.
St Mary’s focuses on the Catholic Virtues of Love, Faith, Courage, Joy, Resilience and Justice. Each half-term we learn about each virtue and look at how we can put them into action.
Encounter
By providing an exciting, immersive curriculum rooted in progressive knowledge and skills, we aim to provide our pupils with experiences that foster inquisitive and resilient learners who challenge themselves to excel.
Discipleship
Through their excellent learning and social behaviours, our pupils demonstrate their commitment to being role-models in all they do. By recognising, rewarding and restoring virtue-based behaviours, we aim for all pupils to work together to create an excellent learning environment where everyone is enabled and championed to succeed.
Missionary Discipleship
Through a strong commitment to ‘Faith in Action’, we provide our pupils with regular opportunities to serve their local community and the wider world. By fostering an understanding of sustainability, charity, and kindness to all, we nurture in our pupils a yearning to take their loving mission out into the World and truly make a difference.
