At St Mary's Priory, our Catholic mission inspires us to follow the example of Jesus by serving others, caring for creation and living out our faith each day. Through a range of leadership opportunities, our children use their gifts and talents to make a positive difference in our school and wider community.

Together, our pupil leaders help to make St Mary's Priory a caring, prayerful and active community, bringing our Catholic values to life through their words and actions.
