The School itself is names after a patron saint, and has a very strong Roman Catholic ethos which can be seen throughout the corridors and classrooms with posters. There is a twice weekly optional Mass in the School Chapel held by the School Chaplain. On 'holy days' Masses are held for the whole school by a local priest.
