Catholic Social Teaching
Children here at St Peter’s enthusiastically embrace being in a Catholic school and part of the Parish. They take on areas of responsibility that promote the schools Catholic Life and Mission within school and in the community. Active pupil groups such as the Prayer and Worship Group, CAFOD Club and the Eco Council contribute significantly to the children’s awareness of the needs of others, social justice and being a steward of creation.
The work of CAFOD supports our children in their awareness of being an active Global citizen leading them to participate in a range of assemblies, charitable events and campaigns across each school year. Pope Francis' letter Laudato Si' remains a profound invitation to care for our planet, our common home and one that is embraced and keenly understood by the children at St Peter’s. Children are exceptionally receptive to the Church’s Social teaching and the Pope’s letter Frateli Tutti is used regularly to teach the children that we are all part of a global family and a neighbour to all.
