The school is part of the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle and is set in the beautiful village of Lanchester. We serve the students of North West Durham and cater for nearly 1400 students. We strive to create a Catholic community which shares common beliefs and where, following Christ’s example, we recognise the unique and equal value of each member. Our commitment to each person’s growth is reflected in our school’s provision, which seeks to maintain the highest standards of achievement and behaviour.

Every day, we strive to live out the values of the Gospel and our Catholic faith; this is the foundation of our mission statement and our relations with each other and the wider world. The values of faith, hope, love and respect for each other are very important to me. The generosity of spirit in our pupils has made every fundraising drive a resounding success and made a significant difference to our charities.
