Diocesan inspection report said:
Progress and attainment of pupils in RE is good; the result of good teaching and outstanding behaviour of the children. They involve themselves wholeheartedly in opportunities to exercise their generosity in helping others.
Our Mission at St. Mary’s
The Catholic Life of the school is given the highest priority where the development of an authentic Catholic ethos is actively sought by all. Children are empowered to have a thorough understanding of the Church’s liturgical year, its seasons, rites and symbols. Within the school community, prayer has a profound and visible effect on the development of all pupils and staff irrespective of ability or faith background. As a school, we promote a love of faith; engaging and inspiring our children to take responsibility for promoting the Catholic ethos of our community whilst seeking to lead and develop this further. Developing a greater understanding of vocation is fundamental in giving our children a meaningful reason to live out their faith. Teachers ensure that children are provided with opportunities to develop their thinking and respond to questions of faith. Our school celebrates, develops and enhances the Catholic Life of our children and ensures our Catholic ethos underpins all that we do and strive to achieve.
Christ has no body on earth but ours. Ours are the hands with which He heals.
Ours are His eyes, His feet, His lips. Ours are the hearts through which He loves.

Examples of our RE work
We are extremely proud of the work that our children produce as part of the Learning and Growing as People of God scheme of work. Children are encouraged to make links between Catholic beliefs and teachings, scripture, Catholic Social Teaching and their own lives. A key focus in RE lessons is facilitating children to see that their learning helps them live out the Gospel messages in their lives today.

Today, the children celebrated the Feast of St. Rita by attending Mass together. It was a lovely opportunity for the children to come together in prayer and reflection as we reflected on the life of St. Rita and her example of faith, kindness and perseverance.
The children were respectful and reverent throughout the service and represented our school beautifully. ✝️

“Tastes Around the World”, a wonderful celebration of different cultures through food. This links beautifully to the Catholic Social Teaching principle of Solidarity, reminding us that we are one global family, united in respect and appreciation of each other’s traditions.
A huge thank you to all the parents and families for the incredible effort and care that went into preparing such a wide variety of delicious dishes. The food was amazing and truly showcased the richness of our community!
It was fantastic to see such a great turnout and to share this special experience together. #restm #catholiclifestm #catholiclifepledgestm … See MoreSee Less
