The school's Catholic ethos is manifest above all in the conviction that, in the words of St John Henry Newman, God has created us “to do Him some definite service”, that we find ourselves in giving ourselves through joyful service in the knowledge that we are children of God.

Our framework for understanding values draws on the example of Christ and his warmth of welcome and inclusion of all. We provide an education that is focused on the formation of the whole person. We are guided by our vision statement ‘believers are achievers, creating tomorrow’s leaders, today' and by the Christian values of courage, service and thankfulness.

• March: St. Patrick
• April: Easter

Daily Prayers

Prayers are said every day during morning registration led by the Form teacher and the pupils. 

Works of Charity

We take very seriously our commitment to charity. We regard works of charity as an essential part of the pupils’ education.

We assist parents/guardians, in their role as the first and foremost educators of their children, to provide effectively for their overall development. Our teachers are vital partners with parents/guardians in each child’s education. The basis of this partnership is loyal, mutual understanding of each other’s complementary roles.
