Catholic Life
Assemblies are an integral part of school life where the community joins together to pray and celebrate publicly the individual achievements of the pupils. There is Mass at breaktime every Thursday. All students are invited and classes take it in turns to prepare the liturgy. There is also a programme of retreats, opportunities for prayer and meditation in school and a music liturgy group. The school is outreaching and supports a range of local, national and international charities.
