WELCOME

Our Lady of Lourdes School ethos enables us to give children an education and a belief that they are beautiful as a child of God. As a community we strive to do little things with great love realising that no single act of love will ever be lost.

The school continues to attract pupils from across the ability range. Boys and girls of all abilities are thriving in our distinct small-school ethos and in our vision of enabling each individual pupil to bring light and dignity to the world – no child held back nor left behind.

We are proud of our pupils; their appearance, their conduct, their respect for themselves, others and for the school property. These are all sources of great encouragement in the present day and bring hope for the future.

✨✨ Student Excellence ✨✨ This week, we have been celebrating the outstanding students in our school who have earned the highest achievement points and those who have truly embodied our four core values: Respect, Kindness, Teamwork, and Effort. A huge well done to every student recognised—you continue to make our school proud with your hard work and positive attitude. ❤️🖤❤️🖤
Over the past month, the Art Department has been busy fundraising in the run-up to Christmas, with a range of creative and engaging events. These included a Christmas raffle, drawing competitions, a ‘guess the cuddly toy’s name’ challenges, and a craft evening. The craft evening was organised and run by our Year 11 and Year 12 Art and Photography Captains, who planned the activities and created many of the resources themselves. Thanks to the enthusiasm and support of students, parents and staff, a fantastic total of £940 was raised. This money will be used to invest in new digital equipment for the Art Department. Well done everyone!🎄👏
A big thank you to our student Mia who donated some fidget toys to school! ⚫️🔴⚫️🔴
✨ Christmas Reflection Service ✨ Today, our whole school community came together for a truly beautiful Christmas Reflection Service. It was a moment of unity, joy, and reverence as we prepared our hearts for the season. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the students who read so thoughtfully, and to our wonderful singers whose voices lifted the service and made it even more memorable. Their contributions brought a special spirit to the occasion and reminded us all of the meaning of Christmas. ❤️🖤
🎄 SPL’s Christmas Fun Day 🎄 Our pupils had a fantastic time getting into the festive spirit with arts and crafts, baking, and a cosy Christmas movie. It was wonderful to see classes bonding together, sharing laughter, and producing some truly stellar work. A huge thank you to Miss Greer for organising such a joyful day, and to our dedicated LSAs for all their support in making it a success! 🌟
