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.

Welcome to our school website. 

We hope you find all the information you are looking for and it gives you a flavour of our amazing school.

 

I am honoured to be the Headteacher at Our Lady’s R.C. Primary School. We are a very unique and distinct school who enjoy excellent academic achievements as well as developing each child into life-long learners, ready to make a difference in the wider community.

 

We expect the highest standards from our pupils in all aspects of school life, including their attitudes to learning and their behaviour. I work alongside a fantastic and committed staff team who are passionate, talented and strive to go above and beyond for our pupils.

 

At Our Lady’s, we strongly encourage a positive and active relationship with our parents, pupils, governors and the parish to ensure our children receive the best education.

 

As Headteacher, I am always available to make time to talk to parents, so please do not hesitate to ask or to make an appointment. I look forward to meeting you in the near future.

Low Bank Ground

Last week, Year 6 enjoyed a fantastic fun-filled week at Low Bank Ground. Their behaviour, manners and respect for each other and the staff was impeccable and we are very proud of them. We are sure they have told you lots of stories and memories from their time in the Lakes. We are currently putting together an album for the website with lots of pictures for you to see.

First Holy Communion

Please keep our Year 3 children in your thoughts and prayers as they complete their First Holy Communion on Sunday 22 June at Our Lady’s Church. We are very proud of you.
