Over the Easter holidays, each pupil has grown wildflower seeds inside a newspaper pot in preparation for a community planting day.
The primary school is taking part in an Albrighton rewilding project that is seeking to improve biodiversity along road verges.
Pupils will join local community groups and members in planting their flowers next month - helping the region's roads to become an oasis of colour and beauty.
The school shows a lot of love and care for the village and seeks to get involved with the community as often as possible. Year 6 children organised a special Macmillan coffee morning where they welcomed and interreacted with elderly residents who may be isolated or lonely.
St Mary's also recently enjoyed hosting a D-Day celebration picnic on behalf of the parish council where members of the Royal British Legion attended. And, being situated on RAF Cosford's doorstep, pupils benefit from strong links with the base and enjoy sessions with RAF personnel.
The primary school has a strong focus on its Christian vision and values, and pupils regularly partake in prayer and worship. The school takes inspiration from Colossians 3:23-24 in the Bible, that reads: "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart."
