Festivals are also marked with a Eucharist or special service. The Autumn Term ends with a carol Service in Liverpool cathedral to which parents are invited. An assembly is held at the beginning of each school day, these taking the form of full assemblies in the school hall, form assemblies in classrooms or year assemblies in St Anne´s church.

All students from Year 7 to Year 13 follow a programme of Religious Education. The courses offered are designed to encourage a sense of enquiry and exploration into religious issues. In addition to a study of Christian worship, beliefs and practices, students also look at aspects of other living religions.

GCSE courses are followed by boys in Years 10 and 11. As part of such courses the boys look at contemporary moral issues (e.g. prejudice, War, crime, health and Euthanasia) from a Christian perspective. AGA Modular AS and A2 courses are on offer in Years 12 and 13 and all students follow a programme of AS and A2 general Studies, where a variety of issues relating to "Beliefs and Values" are examined.
