Welcome to Our Lady & St Paul’s
At the heart of our school is our mission: “We encourage each other to love, learn and live as friends of Jesus Christ.” This simple but powerful statement guides everything we do. Rooted in Gospel values, we are committed to helping every member of our school family—children and adults—grow in faith, develop a love of learning, and show trust, respect, and love for all.
We aim to inspire every child to reach their full potential by providing a rich, engaging curriculum that sparks curiosity and builds confidence. Alongside strong academic teaching, we offer opportunities for prayer, worship, and Religious Education, ensuring that Christ remains at the centre of school life. We also believe in learning beyond the classroom, giving pupils a wide range of experiences that help them to discover and develop their God-given gifts and talents.
Our school is strengthened by the partnership we share with parents, parish, and the wider community. Together, we seek to live out St Paul’s reminder that, “If I am without love, I am nothing” (1 Corinthians 13:2), ensuring that love is not just spoken about, but seen and felt in our daily actions.
Whether you are already part of our school family or are considering joining us, I warmly invite you to explore what makes Our Lady and St Paul’s such a special place to learn, grow, and belong. Please feel welcome to contact us or visit—our door is always open.
