Our aims

Our school exists to provide a broad and balanced education for girls and boys, aged between 11 and 16, coming primarily from the nominated Catholic parishes. The purpose of the school is to develop the whole personality of each pupil, fostering, in a Catholic atmosphere, qualities of mind, body, spirit, feeling and imagination. We aim to secure the highest academic achievement for each child, a full awareness of personal and social responsibility and a deepening love and understanding of the Catholic Faith.

All our pupils take a full and active part in the religious life of the school.
