House System
The school has benefitted from the introduction of a house system. The houses give the students a sense of belonging and pride. Each house is under the patronage of a Saint and the students are encouraged to learn about the life of the Saint. This is done so that the students can replicate the heroic virtue which the Saint exemplified during their life.

Each House meets for Assembly every Half term. In these assemblies, Heads of House, Student leaders and members of the house learn more about the qualities of their House Saint. House achievements from House competitions are celebrated and pupils holistic development is encouraged.
Each House is allocated a Feast day in the school year which is marked by a morning mass, and includes a celebration and sweet treats which brings the House together.
