Mothering Sunday is a special time to reflect on and appreciate the love, care, and dedication of all the incredible mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures in our lives. It is a day to recognise those who nurture, guide, and support children as they grow into confident, compassionate individuals. At Fioretti Trust, we believe that the values of wisdom and compassion are at the heart of both great parenting and great education.

In our primary schools in Birmingham, we see firsthand the impact of nurturing and encouragement—whether from parents, carers, or our dedicated staff. Just as mothers guide and inspire their children to grow and achieve, we strive to create an environment where every child feels supported to reach their full potential.            

The Meaning of Mothering Sunday

Traditionally observed on the fourth Sunday of Lent, Mothering Sunday has historical roots in the Christian faith, where people would return to their “mother church” for a special service. Over time, it became an occasion to celebrate mothers and express gratitude for their love and sacrifices. Today, it is a day of appreciation for all those who play a mothering role in children’s lives.

Celebrating at Fioretti Trust

Across our schools, we are taking the opportunity to recognise the importance of Mothering Sunday. From heartfelt messages to small acts of kindness, we encourage our pupils to express gratitude to the mother figures in their lives. Whether it’s a handmade card, a thoughtful gesture, or simply saying “thank you,” these moments of appreciation matter.

Thank you for the love and wisdom you share every day.
