CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING

What is Catholic Social Teaching?

Catholic Social Teaching Assembly

Our wonderful GIFT team led a fantastic whole-school assembly! They reminded us all about the 7 principles of Catholic Social Teaching and helped everyone understand how we can live these values every day.


We were especially excited to introduce the beautiful crocheted animals that represent each of the 7 strands — lovingly made and donated by a talented member of our parish community.


These animals will help our children remember important values like caring for creation, standing up for others, working together, and showing dignity and love to everyone.

Dignity of the Human Person

The dignity of the human person is the idea that every person has inherent worth and value, simply because they are human. This means that everyone deserves respect, fairness, and care, no matter their age, background, abilities, or circumstances. It is a core principle in Catholic social teaching, reminding us that every life is sacred and that we are called to treat others with love and compassion.


Staff CPD

The teachers were given the opportunity to deepen their understanding of Catholic Social Teaching, helping them to better guide children in living out Gospel values such as charity, justice, and compassion. This professional development equips staff to nurture pupils’ moral and spiritual growth, encouraging them to care for others and the world around them. As Jesus taught,

“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me” (Matthew 25:40).

Through this learning, staff are better prepared to inspire children to act with love and service in their daily lives.

Training the Caritas Ambassadors

The Caritas Ambassadors recently took part in a special training session with Kath Ainsley. This invaluable opportunity helped them deepen their understanding of how to live out Catholic Social Teaching through action. Equipped with new knowledge and inspiration, our ambassadors are now ready to support and guide their fellow pupils in planning and leading charity initiatives across the school. Their work will help us all to show love, compassion, and justice in our community. As Pope Francis reminds us, “A little bit of mercy makes the world less cold and more just.”
