Students and staff gathered together in St Antony’s Church on the last day of the Autumn Term. Prized Departmental Ties were awarded to distinguished students who had excelled in subject areas. 🎖️

To rapturous applause, the highest commendation of the Assist Tie, awarded to students... who live out the school’s virtues, was also celebrated. We were additionally able to proudly announce that we raised a phenomenal £6,643 this term from the various and diverse range of activities that have taken place in support of our chosen charities.

We wish everyone a happy and bright New Year 2026 😍

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas. ✨

May your Christmas be filled with the peace and joy of Christ's love.

We were delighted to welcome Fr Reu from St Francis Parish into our school to bless our new displays. It was a real privilege to share this moment with him and to reflect on our connection with the Church and our Franciscan roots. Our students especially enjoyed having a Franciscan priest in the ...heart of our school community.

Staff, students, and families gathered for our final Home–School Parish Mass of 2025. It was beautiful to see our young people reading, serving on the altar, and participating so reverently. A truly uplifting way to begin the Advent season together.

“I really enjoy serving at Mass, so ...being able to serve at our school parish Mass helped me feel even closer to God. It allowed me to connect more deeply with my faith and with the church that is such an important part of our school community. Serving during Advent made it feel especially meaningful - a reminder of hope, preparation, and God’s presence in my life” Aoife Year 12
