St Paul’s Prayer Phases
At St Paul’s we are supporting the children to understand and learn the prayers as set out in our prayer phase. Please see the supporting document below. We base our assemblies and some of our worships on these prayers.
Mental Health and Well-Being
At St. Paul's Catholic Nursery and Primary School we are passionate about promoting Mental Health awareness with termly theme events that our well-being and school council ambassadors lead upon delivering and supporting.
In Year 2, we have many different ways to support the well-being of our class, including:
- special person (children choose a special adult who they can approach when they feel they need someone to talk to)
- a worry box
- circle time and PSHE
- pastoral time every Friday

Catholic Social Teaching Principles
Catholic social teaching (CST) is rooted in Scripture, formed by the wisdom of Church leaders, and influenced by grassroots movements. It is our moral compass, guiding us on how to live out our faith in the world. Our faith calls us to love God and to love our neighbours in every situation, especially our sisters and brothers living in poverty. Following in the footsteps of Christ, we hope to make present in our unjust and broken world, the justice, love and peace of God.
As Catholics, we are committed to contributing positively to our society; being of service to others – particularly those that have less and are more vulnerable.
Our class Catholic Social Teaching Principle is The Option for the Poor.

Care of Creation The world was made by God, so we take care of God’s creation. |
Preferential option for the poor The ‘preferential option’ means allowing someone to have the first choice. |
Solidarity and Peace God calls us to be peacemakers in the world – to stand in solidarity with those in need. |
Community and Participation As humans, we are made to live in community with one another. This means being active members of the world we live in. We are meant to look out for each other and build each other up. This is how God wants us to live. |
Dignity of Workers Work is fundamental to the dignity of a person. |
Human Dignity Treating someone with dignity means treating them with love, kindness and respect. Everyone should be treated with dignity because we are made in the image and likeness of God. |
Charity Week
This year, Year 2 have raised money for Herts Mind Network who support the mental health and well being of adults and children across Hertfordshire.
We decided to hold a cake sale and were able to raise over £55.
