In Catholic Social Teaching, the value of community develops the interconnectedness of us all and the importance of working together for the common good. It promotes solidarity, mutual responsibility, and the idea that a good community looks after the well-being and dignity of all.

ACROSS THE CURRICULUM

In Religious Education (RE), the children learn about different faith communities, understanding the values of cooperation and mutual respect, and exploring the idea of serving others. In Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE), the curriculum includes work on community involvement (in units such as 'Identity, Society and Equality).

The History curriculum covers diverse communities from different time periods, cultures, and geographical locations. This can include studying how communities have evolved, how they interacted with each other, and the impact of collective actions on historical events. Geography work features the concept of communities, looking at both local and global communities and the important message that we are all connected with a responsibility to care for our world.
