Annual Plan for Provision
Annual Plan for Provision
Cottesmore St. Mary’s Annual Plan of Provision (APoP) is a year-long strategy that outlines how we will bring our Catholic life and mission to life through various activities, including Religious Education (RE), prayer, liturgy, school Masses, retreats, and sacramental preparation. It ensures that our Catholic ethos is integrated into all aspects of our daily life and is tailored to the spiritual needs of all our children.
