 "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 |

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.
Mr A. Cregan

Celebration Event
It was fantastic to share our recent successes as a whole school down at Vue Cinema on the last day of half term. As always, the children were a credit to us and we hope they had a brilliant morning out of school. A big, big thank you to the FOOLs and to everyone for helping us to make it happen.
Parking
Please can I ask that when parking, we are respectful of our neighbours on Holly Road and surrounding streets. We have had a number of complaints raised regarding driveways being blocked from local residents and I am looking for support in ensuring that we can work together with those around us to create a safe and respectful drop off for all parties.

Kids' Cup
A huge well done to our children representing school at the EFL Kids’ Cup today. In a very competitive competition, they represented the school so well reaching the quarter finals and we are very proud of them all.
School Kit
As we continue to try and give the children as many experiences as possible, I am looking to make a very cheeky request! If there are any companies or anyone you may be aware of who could sponsor a new football kit for our older children, please can you let us know! As always, we would be very grateful for your support.

Reception Outdoor Area
This week sees more exciting developments to the school taking place with the redesign of our Reception area.
Whilst the work takes place, a polite reminder to Reception parents that the children will be dropped off and
picked up from the school hall. There are no changes to any other pick up arrangements.
Coffee Mornings
A huge thank you for your attendance in both the class and family coffee mornings.
All information will be uploaded to the school website for anyone who could not make it.
Due to our ongoing commitment to safeguarding, Our Lady’s R.C. Primary School has made the decision to stop using X (Twitter) as a platform for sharing and celebrating our successes.
We, alongside our community within Salford Diocese, are becoming increasingly concerned around the nature of content shared on the platform, including political material and the frequent use of artificial intelligence.
We will continue to share all the wonderful day-to-day activities of Our Lady’s through a new dedicated Facebook page, which can be found by searching ‘Our Lady’s Aspull’ or with the following link:
