As a Catholic school, Christ lies at the centre of all that we do. Prayer plays a very important role in helping the children to recognise Jesus and to promote their spiritual development.
Whole School Collective Worship
Every Monday the children gather for Collective Worship which focuses on the Sunday Gospel reading. During this time of prayer, each class is presented with a weekly challenge linked to the Gospel. Our children also contribute to these times of prayer by offering readings, providing music or performing liturgical dance.
Class Prayer
Our children say morning, afternoon and home time payers every day. The RE curriculum allows regularly opportunities for the children to pray around a class focal point and to reflect on key religious themes. Class liturgies are performed regularly and parents are invited into school to share key class liturgies with the children.
Church and Convent
Our children regularly visit our Parish church of St Mary Magdalen’s for whole school masses and important celebrations. The chapel within the local Convent at Antrim Gardens is also used by our children for class prayer and worship.

YMT (Youth Ministry Team)
Our Head Boy and Head Girl celebrated Youth Friday at St Mary’s Cathedral in Newcastle. They presented a donation to Bishop Seamus, from our school, to support the excellent work of the YMT.
Celebrating Other Faiths
As a Catholic school we show love and kindness to all and treat everyone as Jesus taught. Therefore the children, as part of our RE Curriculum, learn about other faiths and traditions. Throughout the year the children have opportunities to visit other religious places of worship such as a local mosque and synagogue.
