Catholic Life

As a Catholic Sixth Form, our commitment to our faith is central to each decision that we make and everything that we do. We believe that our sixth form students play a fundamental role in building and sustaining our Catholic ethos as ambassadors of our school and local community. Our Christian identity is important to us and we demonstrate this in many ways such as form group and whole-school liturgy, weekly assemblies, daily reflections and prayers in form time, the annual Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes and the many charity and fund-raising events that we take part in as a sixth form.

Each sixth former is obliged to carry out a minimum of ten hours of Christian Duty throughout an academic year. This can be achieved through a number of opportunities such as becoming a Sixth form prefect, Head Boy, Head Girl or Senior Prefect in Year 13, volunteering to help with the Fair Trade initiative, leading the Sixth Form with charity and fund-raising initiatives, chairing our lower school Career Forums, or conducting paired literacy and numeracy work or mentoring with lower school pupils. Some Sixth Form pupils take part in the highly rewarding St. John Paul II Award which enables young adults to become more actively involved in the life of their parish and community.
