School Mission Statement
St Alban's Catholic High School strives to provide an excellent education for our students within a caring Christian community where all are respected, valued and supported to achieve their potential.

We aim to inspire everyone with the strength and purpose to begin the journey of learning for life and to prepare our students to lead by their example in the modern world.

Chaplaincy
In a Catholic community, the Eucharist is at the heart of life, and we wish that to be reflected in our school community. Every tutor group have mass together once a year, celebrated by one of the local priests, and planned together with the Lay Chaplain and their form tutor. In Year 7 parents are invited to join in the Mass.

- Reflection days

Every tutor group has a day of Reflection organised by the Chaplain. This is a chance to get to know each other better, and take time out to reflect on faith and life.

- Sacrament of reconciliation

This is celebrated at school during Advent and Lent. Usually, each year group have an assembly with scripture readings and guided examination of conscience; then students who wish to go to confession are given an individual appointment with a priest.

- Expectations

As a Catholic School we expect all students, whatever their own faith or background, to show respect and reverence during religious services.

- The Chapel

This is used for tutor groups’ masses, sometimes tutor group prayers, at the start of staff training days and for private reflection. There is a book in which pupils can write prayers.

- Sports Facilities

In 2010 the school has open a newly refurbished and extended Sports hall with Fitness Room. The school field is used extensively for PE lessons and extracurricular activity.

- Academic Results

St Alban's has an excellent reputation in pupil achievement. At GCSE results have been consistently above National figures, results at both AS and A Level are amongst the best in the country. More detail can be found on the 'Results' page under 'Latest News'
