Work together; Succeed together
These core values have very much been created by all members of our school community. Respect, Courage and Pride came through as Values that staff feel are important to define us a community, Students overwhelmingly selected the term Determination and parents very much suggested Compassion as a core value.
Courage
Courage is about stepping out of our comfort zones and facing challenges with confidence. It means speaking up for what is right, taking risks in our learning, and being resilient when faced with setbacks.

🌿 Theme of the Week: Following You 🌿
In this week’s Gospel, Jesus describes Himself as the Good Shepherd who knows His sheep and calls them by name. He reminds us that His followers recognise His voice and choose to follow Him. This powerful image shows that each of us is known and cared for personally. Our theme, Following You, invites us to reflect on how we listen to Jesus and follow His guidance in our daily lives. In a world full of different voices and influences, it isn’t always easy to know which path to take. This Gospel reassures us that by listening to Jesus and trusting in Him, we are guided towards what is good—helping us to live with purpose, direction, and faith. ✨

St Mary’s is about more than qualifications, it’s about who our young people become.
