LiveSimply

Here at St. Thomas of Canterbury, we are committed to teaching our children that they can make changes in the world they live in by being thoughtful about their choices and that they can be real difference-makers throughout their lives.

St. Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Primary School has achieved the LiveSimply award, confirming that we are living simply, sustainably and in solidarity with communities around the world experiencing poverty.

The award, championed by the international aid charity CAFOD, was presented to us after we successfully planned and implemented faith inspired actions that highlighted the importance of caring for people and the planet.

Our actions have had a positive impact throughout the school, in our local community, and globally too, as they reached out to make a difference.

After our assessment, we received the following letter - please take the time to have a read.
