Rye’s catholicism orientates all members of the school community in a common vision of the world, faith, like language, giving us the means to understand the world and connect and communicate with it. Rye’s commitment to high educational standards is underpinned by an understanding that there is a spiritual dimension to life which should be recognised and fostered. All pupils are helped to understand that personal well-being and fulfilment is inter-dependent with that of the community in which we live, and that love and respect are both a responsibility and an entitlement within human relationships. As pupils grow in awareness of this spiritual dimension, so they grow in understanding of the dignity and potential of the human person, in themselves and in others.

The Religion and Philosophy programme for each year group gives pupils the opportunity to learn about their own faith and that of others, so that pupils are able to develop a knowledge and understanding of faith at a personal level and a knowledge and understanding of the place of faith within the history of civilisation and within the contemporary world.

Pupils participate in various ways in the spiritual life of the school community, as readers, musicians or altar servers at Mass, as members of the form group leading morning assembly, as organisers or supporters of the termly Charities Days and other charity-fundraising events through which, in the course of each school year, twenty or so organisations are supported in their work for people in need, locally, nationally and internationally. Preparation is offered for the Sacraments of Baptism, First Holy Communion, Reconciliation and Confirmation, and all pupils are supported in the observation of their faith, Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Hinduism all being represented within the school.

Oxford is a cosmopolitan city, its two universities and its hospitals bringing to Oxford families from all over the world, and the city’s international population is reflected in the school community, boarding and day pupils alike coming from diverse backgrounds and representing within the school community diverse languages and faiths. This diversity is characteristic also of Campion Hall, the Society of Jesus’ house in Oxford, and it is priests of the Society who form our Chaplaincy team and who celebrate Mass for us.
