The buildings have been modernised since and today Harrytown serves a wide catchment area, for seven feeder Catholic primary schools in the east of Stockport.

Originally, the school had four houses named after the English Martyrs – Fisher, Campion, Moore and Beckett.

Mass was celebrated by Mark Davies, Roman Catholic Bishop of Shrewsbury, 100 years to the day of the opening of the convent school.

All staff and students joined the Mass through a live television link in the school hall and library.

The original school includes science labs, design and technology rooms, a drama studio and an assembly hall, in addition to offices and administration areas.

ICT has been integrated into all parts of the school, with wireless internet and interactive whiteboards in most classrooms.
