Federation Vision Statement:

"We ensure that all in St Mary’s and St Vincent’s, strive to live and love as a Christian family, growing ever closer to God and following Gospel values. These virtues apply to everyone in the school community and they inform the way we act, what we do and how we achieve our high aspirations.”

In our schools we strive to be . . . 

• LOVING: By our just actions and kind words. We love God and we love each other. 

• FORGIVING: We are forgiven by God and each other and also forgive. 

• TOLERANT and RESPECTFUL: Well-rounded individuals who have a positive impact on others, near and far, especially those who are less fortunate. 

• HONEST – a sense of responsibility and the strength to speak up truthfully 

• LOVE OF LEARNING: developing lively, enquiring and independent minds and the resilience to embrace the challenges we face. To keep on going towards achieving our full potential 

• HOPEFUL: For ourselves and the world, changing what we can for the better in order to fulfil God’s plan

These virtues are displayed in all rooms and around the school.  They are discussed regularly in school assemblies and within the curriculum.  Each half term a different virtue will become a whole school focus, and is introduced by a school assembly.
