St John's Catholic Primary School

The Faith in Action PIN Award encourages young people to deepen their relationship with God by actively living out the Gospel values in their daily lives. For Year 6 children at St. John’s Catholic Primary School, the award provides a meaningful way to put their faith into practice — through service, kindness, reflection and leadership. It helps pupils understand that faith is not only something they learn about in lessons but something they do through their words and actions. Guided by the example of St. John, the award supports children in recognising how small acts of love can make a real difference in their school, parish and wider community.

Taking part in the award is especially important as Year 6 pupils prepare to transition to secondary school, carrying with them the strong foundations of their Catholic identity. By embracing our school motto, “to live in love,” they learn to emulate the compassion and dedication of St. John and follow God’s footsteps in everyday life. The Faith in Action Award helps them grow in confidence, responsibility and spiritual maturity, giving them the opportunity to lead by example and inspire younger pupils. In doing so, they live out their faith authentically — showing that love, service and generosity are at the heart of who we are as a community.

1 John 3:18 

“My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.”
