OUR LADY OF LOURDES SCHOOL

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.

💚 Macmillan Big Breakfast – In Memory of Paul Reid 💚 A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for our Big Breakfast on Friday 5th June in support of Macmillan Cancer Support and in loving memory of Paul. We were overwhelmed by the fantastic turnout and the generosity shown by so many people. Whether you came along for breakfast, made a donation, volunteered your time, or helped behind the scenes, every contribution made a difference. We are thrilled to have raised £600 so far and donations are still coming in. This far exceeded all our expectations and is a wonderful tribute to Paul’s memory. Thanks to each and every person who helped make the event such a success. Your kindness, generosity and support mean so much. 💚 Together, we are making a difference. 💚 #MacmillanCancerSupport #BigBreakfast #InMemoryOfPaulReid #CommunitySpirit #TogetherWeCanMakeADifference

🌍 Year 11 Geography Fieldwork 🌍 Our Year 11 GCSE Geography students recently visited Magilligan to conduct practical fieldwork for their river study. The trip provided an excellent opportunity for students to apply their classroom knowledge to a real-world environment, collecting essential data on river profiles, velocity, and sediment. The students demonstrated excellent teamwork and analytical skills throughout the day. Thank you to the staff who accompanied them and made the trip possible.
