“It seems that education is constantly changing. One thing, however, does not change; this Catholic school belongs to you and your children. It works best if you as parents are prepared to share your responsibilities with us in a trinity of school, parents and parish. Our children need this co-operative support if they are to develop in a truly Christian way. We enjoy a good reputation within the community as a successful school. This is entirely due to the joint efforts of highly committed teachers, parents, clergy, support staff and pupils. We have been a Technology College since 1996. In order to maintain Specialist School status it has been necessary to make a commitment to a technology college ethos and culture. As well as establishing and improving links with local business and industry, it has been necessary to show a continuous improvement at all levels of public examination results in particular, maths, science and technology. We have had to show that an increased proportion of Year 11 students stay on at Sixth Form and to demonstrate further development of Vocational courses for 14 to 19 year olds.”
