Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School is a friendly, happy place to learn and work. Our children like coming to school and we are particularly proud of the warmth of the relationships between children and staff, and the excellence of our pastoral care. We offer a high-quality, broad, and balanced curriculum and, as proud providers of Catholic education, we base all relationships on Gospel values that underpin our daily lives in school. We recognize the uniqueness of every child and provide opportunities for each one to develop a full range of skills.
Our Parish School of Our Lady of Lourdes welcomes everyone in the community to share with us the joys of our Catholic Faith. We worship, learn and play together in the love of Jesus, helping one another to become the people God has created us to be. Our Catholic School will be a safe, happy, special place where the true love of Jesus is present and the Gospel values of hope, joy, justice, peace, and forgiveness are reflected in all we do and say.
The warmth of our welcome and the quality of our care will be matched by excellence in academic, creative, technological, and sporting achievement. We will encourage a love of learning and everyone will recognize and achieve their full potential. Our school will be a cherished center of the community in which the uniqueness of each person will be valued and successes celebrated by all. We will encourage an appreciation for the richness of the created world and work to improve the quality of lives for those less fortunate.
The curriculum offered to children in our school is based on the requirements of the National Curriculum and the Religious Education Curriculum Directory. We aim to offer a broad, relevant, balanced, and differentiated curriculum for each child's needs which will provide a sound foundation for continuing education and prepare the children for adult life and work.
The children are taught in mixed ability, year group classes. Although most time in our school is spent on acquiring knowledge, skills, and understanding in the core curriculum these core areas are developed along with the foundation subjects so that the whole curriculum can be covered.
