Responsibility
We are responsible for ourselves, the choices we make and our learning. In addition, we are responsible for others in our local community and we have a responsibility for our global community and the environment, as we all share one planet. On this page you will find lots of links to resources and ideas to help you explore and reflect on the value of Responsibility.
You will also see many examples of this value in action at St Mary's.

Responsibility News StoriesRecycling Project
The Children in Year 4 have taken Responsibility for the environment by setting up paper recycling in every classroom. Once a week, they take all of the school's paper waste to the recycling bin and announce in worship which class have recycled the most! Therapeutic Garden
Year 2 have been gardening in the grounds of St Mary's Church to help create a beautiful therapeutic garden, which can be enjoyed by all members of our local community. The children have taken responsibility for tidying the garden and planting spring bulbs. Courageous Advocacy
Children, staff and parents at St Mary’s have chosen community projects to support, in order to make a positive change and give hope to their local, national or global community. The children planned how to engage in social action and to make it a sustainable, ongoing project. River Clean Up Project
Year 3 and Year 4 were really disappointed to see how much rubbish they noticed in the river on the way to their Swimming lessons each week and really wanted to take responsibility and do something about it! So, they went down to Ladywell Fields and dressed up in special waders and gloves, ready to help the community by removing rubbish from the river. They filled up lots of heavy duty sacks with the rubbish they found, including lots of plastic, a towel, a shoe, cans, bottles and many more items!
