About Our School

Our school is a welcoming, inclusive 11-18 Catholic community where every individual is known, valued, and supported to flourish.

The school was recognised for a “welcoming, vibrant environment of care and spirituality” and strong relationships where students show deep respect for each other and staff.
Parents also recognise the highest level of pastoral care, reflecting a culture where individuals feel valued.
Alongside this, our Sixth Form is ranked in the top five state-funded schools nationally and is the top-performing faith school in the country.

We use various learning packages to enhance the learning of our students which can be web based, electronic teaching and out of classroom learning resources. The department works closely with the Northampton Diocese with support from our School Chaplain. Applications from ECTs are welcomed.
