Our school community is concerned about the environment. Our pupils live in urban London with many unable to access the enriching experiences the outdoors can provide. Therefore, our curriculum aims to ensure our pupils understand the impact of our way of life in the world we live in. As such, we undertake to support Pope Francis’s message in his encyclical – ‘Laudato Si’ which found inspiration in Saint Francis of Assisi ‘Canticle of the Sun’; a beautiful prayer to celebrate God’s creation. We see our children as stewards of the earth; therefore, our curriculum explores big questions about the environment and Pope Francis's call for action.

We are an Eco School and have held the Green Flag Award for many years. We run many energy saving campaigns throughout each academic year. We have solar panels on our roof as an example to all the community of our ongoing call to action. This installation was funded by the pupils and families through a community wide campaign and we have saved both money and resources over the intervening years. 

Our curriculum is intrinsically linked to the school’s beautiful Eco Garden, our concern with the local and global environments and our responsibility to ensure our pupils and the school community understand that we are being called to raise awareness and take action towards healing our world. Therefore, we learn about climate change and the impact of our actions and way of life on our world. We think about what God is calling us to say and do and what our responsibility is as disciples. We fulfil our call to serve by taking action and claiming the healthy world our pupils have the right to grow up in, we pray for hope and possibility, we ask God for blessings, and wish for a better world.

Harvest Collection

During our Harvest celebration, we thought about those who have less than us. We put our faith into action and decided to support a local charity.

We collected different types of food and goods for Ashford Place, a local support centre in Cricklewood. Each house team had a different list of items that they needed to bring in. The Mini Vinnie Chaplaincy Team helped to pack up all of the goods and distribute them.

Thanks everyone!
