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.

πŸ† Welcome back Reece! πŸ† We were delighted to welcome back our past pupil Reece Cunning into Our Lady of Lourdes today. Reece was one of TEN past Our Lady of Lourdes students who won the Antrim Football Championship with Dunloy last week! Reece along with our staff members Mr Smith, Mr McGarry and Mr Laverty discussed the attributes required to reach the top of your sport. They also reminisced about the brilliant experiences they had playing on sports teams in Our Lady of Lourdes.
