Catholic Social Teaching

Catholic social teaching (CST) is rooted in Scripture, formed by the wisdom of Church leaders, and influenced by grassroots movements. It is our moral compass, guiding us on how to live out our faith in the world (CAFOD)

We use the CAFOD Catholic Social Teaching resources and the animal mascots to support the children’s understanding of the CST principles.

The animal mascots are used with EYFS, KS1 and KS2. We think about how we act to build a better world.
