As unique children of God we love, learn, grow and inspire.
Let your light shine.
Our Mission Statement is at the heart of everything that we do. As a Catholic school we base all relationships on Gospel Values and they underpin our daily lives in school. We particularly focus on the uniqueness of the child and develop and support each other to love, learn, grow and inspire as one family. At Our Lady of Lourdes, children are encouraged to journey beyond their expectations. It is a school where every child has the chance to shine and is prepared for a future of possibilities
At Our Lady of Lourdes we provide a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment where children are happy and want to learn. We seek to live out the Gospel Values, including love, tolerance and respect and we recognise and value every child as a unique and precious individual. We believe in an ethos where children of all faiths (or no faith) and cultures are welcome.

Catholic Social Teaching
At Our Lady of Lourdes, we use the CAFOD principles to help us understand Catholic Social Teaching.
Our children are taught to link Catholic Social Teaching Principles to each of the characters, which gives them a deeper understanding of the forms of Catholic Social Teaching, which is lived out at Our Lady of Lourdes.
Sacramental Preparation
Children in Year 4, who are baptised Catholic, are given the opportunity to take part in sacramental preparation for the Sacrament of Reconciliation and Sacrament of the Eucharist (first confession and first holy communion). These sessions are run in partnership with the school and parish and celebrated as a whole community.
Youth Ministry Team
Children in Upper KS2 have had the opportunity to visit the Emmaus Youth Village, led by the Youth Ministry Team. Children in Year 6 also participate in the Diocesan Primary School festival each year.
