Our Faith Leaders

At St Mary's, our Catholic ethos is not just something we teach; it is something we live. We are immensely proud of our three core student leadership teams, who stand as shining examples of faith in action, guiding their peers to make a meaningful difference in our world.

Our Laudato Si' Team

“God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.” Genesis 1:31

Inspired by Pope Francis’ message to look after our common home, our Laudato Si’ team are the eco-warriors of our school. They are passionate about protecting the world they will inherit and lead us in honouring God’s creation through real action. Whether it’s running their refill shop, starting a sustainability project or caring for our local environment, they show us that even the smallest act of care is a big act of love.

Our Caritas Team

Our Caritas Team puts our school’s love into action. Inspired by the idea of Caritas, which means love for others, these pupils lead our charity work and look for ways to help people in our local community and beyond. Whether they are organising a food bank collection or raising money for those in need, they lead us all how to be kind, compassionate, and helpful neighbours.

Our Gift Team

The GIFT Team (Growing in Faith Together) is the spiritual heart of our school. These children help lead our prayer life, from planning joyful liturgies to creating quiet spaces for reflection. By sharing their faith with their friends and classmates, they help every child at St Mary's feel closer to God and find fun, creative ways to pray together every day.

Prayer Angels

At St Mary’s, we firmly believe that all children are prayer leaders. Every child is encouraged to take an active role in the prayer life of our school, leading daily worship, reflecting on Scripture, and living out our Gospel values every day.

To help guide and support our school community in our faith journey, we have designated prayer angels. Our dedicated Prayer Angels take on special responsibilities to help prepare and enrich our celebration of the Word. To ensure that every pupil receives the opportunity to shine and grow in faith, these roles change throughout the year so that all children take their turn.

Our Prayer Angel roles are Light Angel, Scripture Angel, Sacred Angel, Harmony Angel and Mission Angel.
