 "Pupils positively flourish in this nurturing and caring environment. They enjoy a vast array of exciting and stimulating activities in the school. Children in the early years blossom. They quickly become confident and resilient learners. " OFSTED 2023 |  " Pupils are passionate about learning and relish every opportunity that staff provide. Their conduct and attitudes embody the school’s mission statement: ‘Learning and loving together, we grow with Jesus.’" OFSTED 2023 |  "Parents and carers who shared their views could not praise the school highly enough. One parent summed up the views of many, ‘All the staff go above and beyond to provide an outstanding education for our children’s futures.’" OFSTED 2023 |

Admissions to our School
Wigan LA will only offer ONE school place to each child, please ensure you select Our Lady's as your first choice in order to secure the best chance of being offered a place at our school. A pupil who was ranked 64th out of 64 was offered a place at our school because they placed Our Lady's as their first choice. If you would like to discuss your application please do not hesitate to contact us on 01942 832299.
For each new September intake there are 30 places at school for Reception Year children, if 30 children or less apply for a place ALL children who apply will be offered a place, however if more than 30 children apply, places will be allocated with reference to the school's Admissions policy.

In-Year Admissions
There are a number of reasons why pupils move school mid year, and as such places can become available throughout the year.
If for example, you are moving into the area and wish to make an in-year admission to Our Lady's, please contact the school office as soon as possible, to see if space is available in your child's year group.
Late applications/Preference changes
If you have not yet applied for a primary school place, or you wish to change your mind about the preferences or the order of preferences after the closing date, you must complete a late application form.

On behalf of the whole community of Our Lady’s, may I welcome you to our school website.
We hope that you will find all of the information you are looking for and that the website will give you an insight into the life at our wonderful school.
Being the Headteacher of Our Lady’s gives me great pleasure. I am fully committed to the community of Our Lady’s and strive to ensure that the school serves our local children and their families well.
I believe our school is very special. Our Lady’s enjoys a reputation as a happy and caring Catholic primary school. We are proud of our academic achievements, our friendly purposeful atmosphere and the extra curricular provision made available to our pupils.
We expect the highest standards from our pupils in all aspects of school life, in their attitudes to learning and in their behaviour. Our Lady’s staff are committed, talented and professional, providing a caring, safe and supportive learning environment for our pupils.
We try to encourage at all times an active partnership with parents, pupils, governors and parish to help ensure the best possible education for each one of our pupils.
We hope you like our website; however, if there is anything else you would find useful please let us know through the ‘Contact Us’ page. You are very welcome to visit and experience our outstanding school for yourself – learning and loving together; we grow with Jesus.
As headteacher, I am always able to make time to talk to parents, so please do not hesitate to ask.
I look forward to meeting you and your child.

Congratulations
As this will be the last communication of this academic year, I’d like to say very well done to all the children in school. The attitude to learning and achievement from all children this year has been fantastic. We would like to thank all of our families for your continued support of the school. I would also like to congratulate the staff for their commitment and dedication throughout the year.
