Perseverance is like strong roots.

Sometimes, growing is hard and things don’t go the way we want. But when we keep trying and don’t give up, just like roots that keep growing deeper to find water, we become stronger.

Perseverance at School and Home

These photos show how we demonstrate our school value of Perseverance, both at home and at school. We encourage our children to keep trying, even when things feel challenging, and to take pride in their efforts as well as their achievements. At St Mary’s, we celebrate determination, resilience, and the courage to learn from mistakes — qualities that help our pupils grow in confidence and thrive in all they do.
