Our Catholic School

We are a Voluntary Aided Catholic school under the trusteeship of the Diocese of Westminster. Our mission in serving the local Catholic parishes of Our Lady of Lourdes in Harpenden, St Thomas More in Wheathampstead, and St John Fisher in Redbourn is to provide Catholic education and spiritual and moral teaching to the children in our care. Religious education is at the core of everything we do. We dedicate 10% of our curriculum time to the teaching of RE and follow the 'Come and See' scheme from Nursery to Year 6.

Collective acts of worship for the whole school occur four times a week, with individual classes leading their own act of worship on the remaining day. Our parish priest is a regular visitor to the school. We celebrate Mass together each half term, both in school and at Our Lady of Lourdes. Additionally, prayer is important at all times, both collectively and individually.
