Catholic Social Teaching helps us understand how our faith shapes the way we live and act. It is rooted in Scripture, the writings of popes and saints, and the witness of Christians through the centuries.

At St Mary’s, we work closely with Caritas Westminster and use their resources to support our teaching of the six key themes of Catholic Social Teaching:

• Human Dignity

• Community & Participation

• Care for Creation

• Dignity in Work

• Option for the Poor

• Solidarity & Peace

These values run through all areas of school life. Our teachers look for opportunities to connect learning across the curriculum to the principles of Catholic Social Teaching, helping children see how faith is lived out in everyday life and in the wider world.
