‘Start children off the way that they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it’. Proverbs 22:6

First and foremost, Our Lady of Lourdes is a Catholic School. Our vision is one of excellence and this is driven by our aspirations and values. When your child joins Our Lady of Lourdes you are joining a community and the golden thread woven through our personalised curriculum is our Mission Statement and our values and faith.

Our School Values are: Excellence, Independence, Respect, Adventure, Community and Learning. You do not need to be Catholic to join Our Lady of Lourdes Community, as our values are not unique to the Catholic faith; they provide the foundation for the development of your child both academically and personally.

It is our aim that children leave Our Lady of Lourdes well prepared for the next stage of their academic and personal journey. Furthermore, we also want our pupils to leave with an aspiration to become a future leader in their chosen field and a socially responsible citizen.

By providing a safe and nurturing environment that develops the whole child, we aim to support children to have high self-esteem and a strong foundation for the next stage of their education.

We believe that in partnership with our parents and wider community, also through our high expectations, we prepare every child to become an adult contributor of society, supporting them to uphold our values in everything they do.
