50 Things Before I Leave Stone St. Mary’s

Our vision is for all children to have an enriching and memorable experience of their time at Stone Saint Mary’s CE Primary School. We aim to broaden horizons and give all our children a wide range of opportunities to learn about themselves, the community, their local environment, and wider opportunities.

Let’s work together to ensure all children are given opportunities to participate in these enriching and memorable experiences. To help us deliver this, we have compiled a list of 50 experiences that we feel all children should participate in during their primary school years. They focus on skills and attributes that will help our children become resilient and confident and hopefully give them a ‘head start’ for their next steps in life.
