Awards

School of Sanctuary

We are delighted to be recognised as a School of Sanctuary. We have joined together as a school community to make a difference in not only our society, but our world. 

A School of Sanctuary welcomes all. At the Rosary we treat everybody the same and show love to all. 

We work closely with St Chad’s Sanctuary, supporting their food bank. We have welcomed Stories of Hope and Home in to discuss their journeys and also made shoe boxes filled with essential items for people who are seeking refuge in our country. We have joined together to pray for those in need.

‘We welcome everybody, no matter their race, religion, hair colour or size’

Reception

HSBC Finance - Smart Money Award

We have received the HSBC Smart Money Award for excellence in financial education for 2023, 2024 and 2025. This is a reflection of the commitment to supporting pupils’ financial learning which helps Rosary pupils to develop valuable, practical life skills in money management.

Our financial curriculum is delivered through a range of activities and experiences including workshops, visitors and practical experiences based on real-life situations. They cover topics such as budgeting, differentiating between needs and wants and safeguarding financial and personal information

Rights Respecting School (RRSA)

At The Rosary Catholic Primary School, we pride ourselves in that we are a Rights Respecting School and at present we are in the process of reaccreditation for the prestigious Gold Award as a UNICEF Rights Respecting School. We were initially awarded Gold in 2019 and we hope to achieve Gold once again later this academic year 2025/26.

Live Simply Award

The Rosary Catholic Primary School achieves the Live Simply award. Pupils and staff from The Rosary Catholic Primary School have achieved the Live Simply award confirming that they are living simply, sustainably and in solidarity with communities around the world experiencing poverty.
The award, championed by the international aid charity CAFOD, was presented to the Catholic school after they successfully planned and implemented faith inspired actions that highlighted the importance of caring for people and the planet. Their actions have had a positive impact throughout the school, in their local community, and globally too, as they reached out to make a difference.
 
Students participated in a variety of meaningful actions, including litter picking, public speaking, prayer services, and charitable giving, working with many incredible charities. A standout moment was delivering a presentation to their MP about an invention designed to improve the Birmingham canals, demonstrating their commitment to positive change.
 
A Year 6 pupil reflected on the importance of the Live Simply Award, stating that it is a worthwhile cause that allows students to make a real difference. They emphasized that every child has the power to create an impact and highlighted the significance of social action. They also encouraged other schools to take part, believing that collective efforts can help change the world for the better.
 
CAFOD’s Live Simply Coordinator for Schools, Siobhan Farnell, said:
Congratulations to the pupils and staff on achieving the LiveS imply award. Their actions are wonderful examples of caring for others and our common home and we wish them well as they continue to live simply, sustainably and in solidarity with communities around the world experiencing poverty.”
