SCHOOL VISION

To provide the highest quality of education within a Catholic ethos. Through the love of God, we will foster individual uniqueness; use the talents God gave us for the good of others and ourselves. Together with our families, our parish and our local community, we seek to create a safe, happy school where we respect and care for others and become confident and caring citizens with a passion for learning.

It is a privilege to be Headteacher of Our Lady's Catholic Primary School and Nursery. 

Our school is situated on the edge of the beautiful city of Hereford and is full of vibrant and energetic children.  Our staff are committed to ensuring that your child will feel happy, safe and excited in their learning. The school currently has just over 200 pupils on roll, which is one class per year group. Our newly opened nursery has between twenty and twenty-five at any given time.  This number ensures that the school has a ‘family’ feel to it and enables all children to build excellent relationships with one another, as well as with staff. The school has beautiful grounds, which allow the children to play and learn outside, enjoying and appreciating the natural world. The school also benefits from sharing a site with the parish church of Our Lady Queen of Martyrs and although in England, we sit in the Catholic Archdiocese of Cardiff and Herefordshire.

The children make regular visits to the church, which encourage a range of rich spiritual, religious and cultural experiences. Staff are proud to teach in a Catholic school and to be able to enlighten children in the teachings of the Gospels. Our children learn to value and respect themselves and others through Christ’s values and to enjoy life to its full. At Our Lady’s, we feel that children thrive most when supported and challenged. Our staff hold high expectations for all children to achieve their very best in all subjects. This is through a highly engaging curriculum which offers experiences in all academic subjects as well as the arts and sports. We recognise that a strong bond between home and school is essential for children to enjoy school and achieve success. This is why we hold regular events for you and your family to visit the school and share in your child’s milestone achievements.
