As a Catholic College, we continue to build upon the spiritual experiences of the students, not only in offering them a deeper insight into their own faith but also by encouraging them to take a greater role in the community. We believe our sense of values help the students to put into perspective the increasing pressures that society puts upon them. With this in mind, all Sixth Form students follow a programme of General R.E. Year 13 students may choose to engage in the EPQ. The results provide many students with the additional UCAS points needed to secure a place at university and enable them to demonstrate independent study skills.
