Option for the Poor

Called to Serve
  • Community and Participation
  • Creation
  • Dignity
  • Dignity of Workers
  • Option for the Poor
  • Solidarity and Peace

The Catholic social teaching principle Option for the Poor encourages us to imitate Christ’s love for the poor by working to create a society where the needs of the poor are always considered first. The option for the poor reminds us of God’s preferential love for the poorest and most vulnerable people. God’s love is universal; he loves the humble.

‘The poor do not need intermediaries, but the personal involvement of all those who hear their cry.’ Pope Francis, Second World Day Of The Poor

Salvation Army Toy Appeal
Samaritans 12 Days of Christmas Appeal
Richards Christmas Wish Appeal – A year 6 pupil collects donations to make hampers for the homeless in York and Scarborough. He then delivers these to the shelters on Christmas Eve.

✨ Our playground has had a summer makeover! ✨

It’s been a busy summer here at school! During the summer break, some fantastic new playground markings and games have been installed, ready for the children’s return. 🎨🏃‍♀️⭐

We can’t wait to see everyone enjoying the new activities, getting active and having lots of fun with their friends! 💙
