Health & Wellbeing

As a Catholic school, our aim is that the pupils in our care are nurtured in ‘a lived and living’ faith. We endeavour to provide spiritual nourishment which is meaningful and enhancing in the face of ever-increasing materialism and the erosion of traditional values.

Careers

We believe that it takes more than good grades to achieve success in life and we believe that through our tailored careers programme, we can help students develop the knowledge, skills, qualities and attitudes that will give them a strong foundation for lifelong learning and work in a rapidly changing economic environment.

Learning Support

We are offering an opportunity for teacher-led and independent revision sessions in core skill areas in English, Maths and Science to enable your child to be successful in a re-sit examination on Thursday 22nd/Friday 23rd June; successful completion of this will inform the need for placement on the Summer Improvement Programme.

Exams

To prepare for a school exam, students should gather their study materials, review actively, take breaks, and try to stay calm. Exams can be stressful, but they are just one aspect of a student's overall performance in school.
