This institution is a part of the lengthy history of Catholic education in this nation.
The Archdiocese of Birmingham, which oversees the school, supports its Catholic character.

In order to achieve our goal of fostering "a climate of gospel values where students can realise their full potential" academically, intellectually, morally, and socially, a person is encouraged to participate in the school's liturgical life in addition to working toward academic excellence. This helps to promote personal development and maturity.

Throughout the Church's Liturgical Year, the Youth SVP Liturgy group, which is made up of both staff and students, offers meaningful and contemplative services.
The growth of a faith that embraces every member of our school community is prioritised.
