St. Cuthbert's Catholic Primary School Seaham
Live Simply Award
Pupils and staff from St. Cuthbert’s have achieved the LiveSimply Award, confirming that they are living simply, sustainably and in solidarity with communities around the world experiencing poverty.
The award, championed by the international aid charity CAFOD, was presented after successfully planning and implementing faith-inspired actions that highlighted the importance of caring for people and the planet.
Their actions have had a positive impact throughout the school, in the local community, and globally too, as pupils reached out to make a difference.
Miss Lyndsey Huntley, our LiveSimply Lead, has played a key role in guiding and inspiring the school community throughout this journey.
