Community Links
We pride ourselves on our links with the community and these make a significant contribution to pupils’ education and personal development.
A very wide range of visits outside of school broadens pupils’ experience and enhances the curriculum. These include visits to local theatres and places of historical interest, foreign exchanges and field trips.
For the most senior pupils, there have been visits to Lourdes that add to their spiritual understanding, and their involvement in community service furthers their understanding of their moral responsibility to others.
Pupils help with reading at a local school and distribute food in the community at Christmas.
Support for local charities such as a children’s hospice, a charity for the homeless in Manchester and the Diocesan Catholic Children’s Rescue Society raises their awareness of the need for social commitment. Significant sums have been raised for Aids victims in Africa, for a school in Ethiopia and for street children in Brazil.
