We are rightly proud of our school and its clear ethos that shows that God is truly with us. We have a clear mission that follows Mary as our inspirational role model. With her guidance we try to become a faithful family of God that treats each other with respect, kindness and understanding. Together we are responsible for each other and strive for excellence.
At Lourdes we truly know that every child matters and it is important to us that every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential. We are a caring school and we work well with our parents and families to make our children's primary education one that they will enjoy and remember.
We have a clear commitment to ensuring that our curriculum is broad and engages our children so that they want to discover more about the world. We are trying to use technology to share our learning with parents and families too. We are privileged to have extensive grounds to promote the fitness of all of our children.
