Thank you for identifying Hagley Catholic High School as your preferred choice for your child's secondary education. Our mission is for all members of our community, called as God's family, to strive to achieve their personal best, by living and learning in Christ.

We offer a comprehensive transition package to all pupils who are transitioning to us, designed to empower your child to take ownership of their move to secondary school, supported by our professional and experienced staff. The package has various elements to it, depending on the needs and location of each child.

Our Annual Open Morning in early October provides the chance for families to visit the school to see it in action, meet students and staff and to ask any questions they may have about secondary education. Our 2024 Annual Open morning will be held on Saturday 5th October 2024 from 9am until 12.30pm.. A copy of the Principal's last presentation to families for our Open Morning in October 2023 can be found here.

Pupils identified by their primary schools as in need of additional transitional arrangements, to cater to their needs, may be invited to up to 3 additional sessions at Hagley Catholic High School, before the main Year 7 Induction Days. Parents and carers of relevant students will receive confirmation from the school via email during May, once allocations have been determined. For 2025 the sessions when these will be offered are not yet confirmed.
