Faith Ambassadors at St Mary’s Catholic Primary School
By living out our school Mission Statement ‘Learning Together in Faith and Love’, we ensure that the Gospel values are central to everything we do and say in our school community.
The children who become Faith Ambassadors are selected for this special vocation because they are a shining example to their friends and actively live out their faith as modern day disciples.
Faith Ambassadors meet monthly at lunchtimes with Mrs Tusting and Mrs Beurthe.
With the support of Mrs Tusting and Mrs Beurthe, our Faith Ambassadors are an integral part of our school community who help strengthen pupil's faith and spread God's word.
