Our School Context
We are an 11-18 boys' comprehensive school with a co-educational 6th Form, deeply rooted in serving the Catholic community of North London and South Hertfordshire within the Diocese of Westminster. While we cherish our history, we are also forward-thinking and open to continuous improvement, ensuring high-quality education for all. Our school enjoys a strong reputation within the local community and is in high demand among parents/carers.
Our Catholic faith is at the core of our mission. We prioritise the spiritual and moral development of our students and nurture positive relationships within our community. Outreach and helping those in need are central to our values, defining the character of our school.
While our staff come from diverse faith backgrounds, they share a commitment to our Catholic ethos and values. They all contribute significantly to our unique community, striving to make a positive impact on the lives of the young people we serve.
Our students represent diverse backgrounds and areas, enriching our community with a wealth of cultures and socio-economic diversity. They and their families have high expectations and value education as a means to improve life chances.
We highly value the partnership with our parental community, recognising parents/carers as the 'prime educators.' Our success is built on a strong and mutually supportive relationship with parents, ensuring the best provision and outcomes for their young person.
