Our Lady of Peace Catholic Infant and Junior Schools amalgamated on 01 April 2016 to form Our Lady of Peace Catholic Primary and Nursery School. This is an exciting time in the life of the school, the Governors and Staff are committed to the journey ahead as we work to become a new school community.

We are a Catholic Primary and Nursery School where our values, beliefs and practice permeate every aspect of school in line with our mission statement'With Christ in our hearts, together we grow'. Our aim is to promote the best interests of each child and celebrate their individuality and uniqueness’ so that they are able to meet their full potential by working in partnership with parents as a community that follows Christ.

We are very proud of our happy and successful school, made possible only with the support of our dedicated team of hardworking staff, Governing Body and parents. The friendly teams of staff at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Primary & Nursery School have high expectations and are caring and dedicated to the needs of all children under their care. Our Lady of Peace Primary and Nursery School is a three form entry school and has an attached nursery. The school is a Catholic Voluntary Aided school within the Diocese of Northampton and has close links with the parish of Our Lady of Peace Church in Burnham.

We are a mixed Catholic Voluntary Aided School with a Nursery Class, situated in the Parish of Our Lady of Peace, Burnham. The school which was established in 1961, became a First School in 1975 and an Infant School in 1996. In 2016 the Infant School amalgamated with the Junior School to form Our Lady of Peace Catholic Primary and Nursery School. We work in partnership with the Diocese of Northampton, Slough Local Authority, and the St Peters Partnership. The partnership between home, school and parish will be nurtured and strengthened by the opportunity for all members of our school community to contribute to the life of our school. Our Catholic faith, which is lived out in our daily lives, will be taught by example and explicitly through the “Come & See” programme and supporting resources.  The children also will be helped towards an awareness and better understanding of other faiths and cultures.
