Spiritual Development
Prayer and Worship
The value of prayer and worship is an important part of the School. Daily corporate acts of worship and other prayer sessions seek to foster Gospel values of care and service to one another and to all in need as well as praising and giving glory to God. There is a Chapel on site which the students are welcome to visit at any time. Prayers are said each morning in form tutor groups. Mass is held on Holy Days and retreats are organised throughout the year for the senior students to have a time away from curriculum pressures.
Education in Personal Relationships
The aim is to address issues of friendship, family and the emotional and moral aspects of growing up. Some are dealt with in the Religious Education Programmes and some in Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) to explore relationships in the context of a healthy Christian lifestyle.
These issues are covered with sensitivity in line with the age and stage of development of students, as well as in accordance with the teachings of the Catholic Church.
We regard the development of students relationships with each other, with teachers and with other adults to be an essential part of their education.
