Following these guidelines the school has always kept the feast days of Our Lady, and has a number of statues and altars dedicated to her. The school has the Lady's Statue, which sits at the top of a grand avenue to the school.

The project is organised as part of their Companions programme that twins all nine UK Jesuit schools with Jesuit schools around the world.
