Catholic Social Teaching
Catholic Social Teaching is the Catholic teachings regarding the matters of human dignity and common good in society. There are seven principles of Catholic Social Teaching -
- Dignity
- Solidarity
- The common good
- The option for the poor
- Peace
- Care for creation
- The dignity of work and participation
'It is our moral compass, guiding us on how to live out our faith in the world.' - CAFOD
At St Thomas More Catholic Primary School, Catholic Social Teaching is an integral part of the ethos of our school family and is embedded throughout the curriculum.

Catholic Social Teaching Workshops
Mervyn (from CAFOD) came into school to deliver workshops to each Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 class. His workshops were all about the importance of Catholic Social Teaching. In KS1, we met different animals who represented each principle. Where as, in KS2, we learnt about the key principles by looking at keys that unlocked a treasure chest. We all had a great time. Thank you Mervyn.
