Year Group Identity

Year group identities are shaped by the lives of transformational saints, offering pupils a role model whose values and actions they can strive to emulate. This connection helps guide their actions and provides a clear example of how to live a life of purpose, compassion, and service to others. 

Heads of Year educate pupils about their year group saint through assemblies and feast days. By learning about the lives of these saints, pupils are inspired to develop their character and embrace a sense of mission, knowing they are part of a larger tradition of faith and action. This practice instills in them a deeper understanding of the importance of personal growth, encouraging them to make a positive impact both within the school and the wider community. It supports them in their journey to becoming living saints. 

The pinnacle of the year is each year group's Feast Day. On this day, the year group will celebrate Mass at The Annunciation – Our Lady Queen of Peace, and then have educational input from their year group charity, followed by fund and awareness-raising activities. The planning for the day is led by the year group Faith in Action team.
