School Day

‘Our institutions should provide young people with places they can make their own, where they can come and go freely, feel welcome and readily meet other young people, whether at times of difficulty and frustration, or of joy and celebration.’ Pope Francis (218)

Welcome

Everyone is welcomed into school by Duty Team. If pupils are arriving at school with any worries or concerns, please inform the duty staff.

The STM Breakfast Club is a free service, open for all pupils where they can choose toast or snacks provided to use by the Tesco Fair Share Scheme.  This is in the Food Room from 8:30am to 8:45am every morning.

At 8.55am pupils arrive in their form rooms and prepare for the day ahead with their Personal Development Tutor.

Break Time

During the break time there are different areas outside for pupils to relax. There are areas for sitting and chatting, areas for ball games and the canteen and hall are open for those who prefer to stay indoors. Duty staff are available to all at break time.

After break time pupils return to their Personal Development Tutor for Building the Kingdom time, where their activities include prayer, assembly, Positive Points checks, Wednesday Word and Reading.

 Lunchtime

At lunchtime there are many activities and clubs available. Please see the weekly pupil bulletin.

The Canteen Team will assist pupils in enjoying a healthy meal. Pupils can always receive a loan for lunch at the Finance Office on the main corridor at lunchtime.

Pupils must queue up politely and be considerate of others, they should not drop any litter and ensure their table is tidy after their lunch, respecting our need to Care for God's Creation.

The Duty Staff work with our proactive Year 11 Prefects to ensure that all pupils have a safe and enjoyable lunchtime.  Our Learning Support Assistants are on lunch duty so pupils can have opportunities to share concerns.

The stage area is available for Year 11 to socialise during lunchtime.  During a wet weather all year groups have their own allocated wet weather bases supervised by the Duty Team and SLT.

The library is open for pupils who wish to read, catch up any work missed or complete any homework. There are various books on the school corridors which pupils are encouraged to take and read and share with others.

End of the Day

The duty staff will help pupils to leave the school site in an orderly manner and we ask pupils to always remember their responsibilities as part of the STM family as they travel home from school.  The library is open for pupils who wish to read, catch up any work missed or complete any homework.  When pupils wear their uniform it must always be smart and pupils must model our school values and expectations after the school day has ended.

Pupils must tell a member of staff or prefect immediately if they experience any bullying or feel unsafe.  Alternatively, click the 'Report a Safeguarding Concern' button on our Home Page
