The Camino Partnership
St Mary's enjoys the privilege of being a member of the Camino Partnership. This partnership is what is known as a ‘soft’ federation – in other words the schools all remain distinctive, with their own governing bodies, but they work together with a common aim, in our case the promotion of Catholic education. Currently there are ten member schools within this federation which includes both state and independent institutions.

Joint Projects
The Camino offers a range of exciting opportunities to pupils, staff and governors of the member schools. Teachers and leaders collaborate frequently and fruitfully and over the last few years the federation has planned shared events, such the Pilgrims of Hope day and Chaplaincy Team training for the chidren and a biannual spiritual INSET day for staff.
Children in our Year 5 class are invited to participate in a three day residential retreat at Kilve Court which is led and attended by leaders, teachers and pupils from several of the federation's primary schools.

St Mary's is an active member of the Camino and our school governors, leadership team and teachers regularly engage with many of the planned meetings, activities and events.
