Our Lady's is a happy school with a warm, friendly, caring Catholic ethos, which is central to the work and life of our school. We aim for every pupil at our Lady's to leave knowing God's love and being able to show God's love.
We want them to have enjoyed their learning thoroughly, striving to give 100% and achieving the very best that they can so that they are ready for the next part of their lives. At Our Lady s, we believe that all children are entitled to receive a high-quality, creative education that emphasises the importance of developing key skills as well as the whole child.
We do this through the arts, the teaching of thinking skills, the encouraging of independent learning and the exploration of the Gospel values. We are passionate about reading and oracy and as such are focusing this year even more on these priorities.
We are also seeking every opportunity to increase our children's access to the latest IT, continually investing in the most useful devices to support learning.
