The LiveSimply Award is an opportunity for Catholic communities - parishes, schools, religious orders and chaplaincies - to respond to Pope Francis’ invitation in Laudato Si' to “work with generosity and tenderness in protecting this world which God has entrusted to us”. 

As a school community, we are on a journey with Christ towards the LiveSimply Award.

We are answering the call from Pope Francis to care for creation by completing CAFOD's Live Simply Award. We will be working together to complete nine actions across our school, local and global communities. This is all surrounded by the principles of Catholic Social Teaching. 

Find out more about CAFOD's LiveSimply award for schools here. This animation helps pupils to understand why LiveSimply is important, and the impact it can have on themselves, our neighbours and our global community. CAFOD stands for the Catholic Agency For Overseas Development.

We began our journey with a whole school assembly to launch LiveSimply. Children then went back to their classrooms and all pupils and adults made their own LiveSimply pledge which is displayed in school. Making a LiveSimply pledge is one of our actions towards achieving the LiveSimply Award and is a promise to: live simply, live sustainably and live in solidarity with the world’s poorest communities. Have a look at the photos of our lovely pledge tree.
