The remaining students enter apprenticeships and employment.

Prayer and liturgy are an important part of our school and at least six times a year we hold school masses celebrated by one of our local priests, which allows our school to get together to celebrate its Catholic identity. Our Catholic life is also sustained by our weekly Friday Mass for pupils and parents and our Wednesday Prayer Group.
