After lots of hard work in April 2024 we achieved the LiveSimply Award!
23rd April 2024
Dear Parents and Carers,
CAFOD’s Live Simply Award
As you already know this year we have been working to achieve CAFOD’s Live Simply Award. This is an award given to schools and parishes in response to Pope Francis’ invitation to ‘Laudato Si’ – to work with
generosity and tenderness in protecting God’s world.
We are DELIGHTED to confirm that our school has now achieved the LiveSimply award. Despite the fact that our children are currently split over three sites we have still come together to demonstrate that we can live simply, sustainable and in solidarity with the world’s poorest communities.
This award celebrates what we have already done and inspires us to do more. It helps us to live not just more simply but more fully. LiveSimply is very much a journey which we hope to continue for many years to come.
This is a huge achievement for our school and we hope to celebrate our success by continuing our faith inspired actions. Our commitment to LiveSimply is a vital part of our Catholic life and the overall mission of our school.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us in achieving this award, special thanks to Mrs Scott, our Faith in Action Group our Mini Vinnies and for all those who have donated to our many fundraising events, most recently, CAFOD’s big Lent Walk. The feedback we have received is wonderful “the pupils were outstanding in the clarity and commitment they show to your LiveSimply journey.” We have produced outstanding work and this is a credit to our community.
Well done everyone!
Kind regards
Mrs. Francesca Heslop
Headteacher
