The school emphasises Catholic Social Teaching themes: Human Dignity, Community and Participation, Care for Creation, Dignity in Work, Peace & Reconciliation, Solidarity, and holds to the three virtues of faith, hope and charity. Daily collective worship and various religious activities are part of school life, with Mass led by classes termly and ongoing parish engagement.
