Catholic Life and Mission of the School
We grow with Jesus to be the best we can be.
At St Mary’s everyone is welcome. The community embraces the message of Jesus to ‘Love our neighbour’, and as such celebrates diversity in all it’s richness.
St Mary’s is a nurturing school, where children can be everything God meant them to be. Following Jesus’ example we strive for the children to be happy, to learn to reconcile and forgive others and to grow in God’s love and fulfilment. The community takes this message to our local community and to the wider world, through their faith, actions and charity work: such as supporting the Loughborough John Storer food bank or by supporting the work of Cafod or Mary’s Meals.
The Catholic Life of the school permeates through every part of the Curriculum and timetable for the day and is visible and felt the moment you walk through the school. Using the diverse cultural backgrounds of children to learn about other faiths is a gift the school embraces. Pupils lead and plan the prayer and Liturgy in their own classrooms and for the whole school, including planning of masses in school.
There is a rich diet of daily collective worship, using all the pupil, staff and Parish talents. St Mary’s is very blessed to have St Mary’s church as it’s immediate neighbour and the ease of visits to the church and from the Parish Priests, enhances the Catholic life, Prayer life and the RE learning in school.
The school also uses Ten Ten and the Mark 10 mission to supplement it’s prayer and Liturgy.
