Miss B O'Leary - Religious Education Lead and RSE Co-ordinator
At St Mary's, our vision is to support our children to attain a deeper knowledge and spiritual understanding of their Catholic faith. We guide, support and prepare children to be ambassadors of Christ within their daily lives through the teachings of Jesus, worship, prayer and creating enjoyment in meaningful spiritual encounters with Christ.
As a Catholic school we aim to educate the whole child, and our ethos is inseparable from the curriculum. Religious Education is taught through lessons using our Birmingham Diocesan programme 'Learning and Growing as the People of God' and also through celebrations, prayer and everyday experiences in school, in addition to exploring our mission in all curricular subjects
One family united in Christ to be the best that we can be.
We celebrate Mass at school and at our local church. Parents and parishioners are invited to join all our Masses.
Children begin their preparation for First Holy Communion and Confession when they begin Year Three.
Prayer is a special part of our day. Children pray at various times during the school day including before and after lunch, and morning and end of day prayers. In addition to this, children experience different prayers and ways to pray in weekly class prayer and whole school assemblies. Each of our classes, are introduced and learn a set of prayers as they begin each year group, to widen their knowledge. We love that our children take a role in leading prayer and acts of Collective Worship right from Reception.
Our staff all begin staff meetings with a focus on prayer, and are involved in termly spiritual experiences delivered by One Life Music.
The principles of Catholic Social Teaching underpin all we do at St Mary's Catholic School. Our faith calls us to love God and to love our neighbours in every situation, especially our sisters and brothers living in poverty. Following in the footsteps of Christ, we hope to make present in our unjust and broken world, the justice, love and peace of God.
