Key Stage 3.

At Key Stage 3 all the pupils follow the Christian Way Series.  This is closely associated with the Primary school series which is also the Christian Way Series.

The textbooks in the series are.
Love One Another for Year 8
Show Us the Way for Year 9
At Time to Live for Year 10

A series of Workbooks are also used in Key Stage 3 called the Religion for Living Series. These are used in lower ability classes.  There is a workbook for each of the years.


Key Stage 4

At GCSE level all the pupils are entered for GCSE.
The pupils are prepared for a final examination in Year 12.  Before they reach that they have the opportunity to gain up to 20% of their marks for coursework.  There are two pieces of coursework to be produced. A core textbook is used in GCSE. This is Dimensions of Christianity by Sister Anne Burke.  There are 3 specialist teachers who prepare the pupils for GCSE.

General Information.

We have two school chaplains, Father Burns is the Senior School Chaplain and Father Lyons is the Junior School Chaplain.  They have both got a strong liturgical role within the school community.

Each Year the pupils get involved with charitable activities these range from collecting hampers for St Vincent de Paul at Christmas, to the collection of money for The Christian Brothers Mission.  The students actively support the missions in Zambia through participation in the Immersion Project where they visit Zambia and work in the schools and compounds.  The first years also get actively involved in a sponsored walk for the MS Society.

All the year groups get involved in the daily assembly where they read out prayers and role-play various themes for the assemblies.
