Pupils and staff have worked together to achieve the LiveSimply award, confirming that we 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 school after we successfully planned and implemented faith-inspired actions that highlighted the importance of caring for people and the planet. These actions have had a positive impact throughout the school, in our local community, and globally too, as we reached out to make a difference by setting up a Fair Trade tuck shop, litter picking in the local area, collecting for the foodbank, increasing biodiversity on the school site, running pre-loved clothes and book sales, singing for community groups, and adopting a seal from the seal sanctuary…to name but a few!

CAFOD’s LiveSimply Coordinator for Schools, Siobhan Farnell, said:

“Congratulations to the pupils and staff on achieving the LiveSimply 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.”

Well done to everyone involved-a fantastic achievement.
