Live Simply Award

We are thrilled to share some exciting news! On Tuesday 25th February, our school was assessed for the CAFOD Live Simply Award. This award recognises schools that take action to live simply, sustainably, and in solidarity with those living in poverty around the world. Over the course of a year, our school has worked hard to devise and implement an action plan that demonstrated our commitment to these values. We had to provide evidence of our initiatives, attend an interview and some of our pupils were also interviewed as part of the assessment process. We are delighted to announce that we have successfully completed the assessment!

Here is a quote from Dympna Edwards, CAFOD’s Live Simply assessor:

“It has been a pleasure to hear about your faith-inspired actions, demonstrating how you have been living simply, sustainably, and in solidarity with communities around the world living in poverty. This is a fantastic achievement, and we warmly congratulate you, your pupils, and your staff team.”

This achievement marks a significant milestone for our school, and we are incredibly proud of all the efforts put in by the whole school community. A special thank you goes to Mrs. Smalldon and Miss Stokes, whose passion and leadership have driven this project forward. We are beyond thrilled with this accomplishment and look forward to continuing our work towards living simply, sustainably and in solidarity with others.
