Our Lady’s is a very friendly, welcoming and caring school. We believe that people achieve more when they feel happy, secure and valued. Our philosophy is to educate the whole person; we want the children to enjoy their learning and we have high expectations for their academic, creative and social progress. Team spirit is very much part of the ethos here and there is high expectations of all staff, pupils and parents to work cooperatively, to make a positive contribution to the life of the school and to give of their best. There is a focused commitment on the teaching and learning environment, working, praying and playing together, which includes, staff, families and the community - and we are proud of what we do. There is an emphasis on mutual support through which we develop our shared professionalism. We are reflective and adaptive in our practise. This is a safe place to learn. We are happy to try out new ideas, because we want to ensure that every child succeeds.

At Our Lady of Perpetual Succour Catholic Academy we learn to love and love to learn. We are a Catholic community, guided by the light of Christ and working in partnership with parents and parish, where every member is encouraged to grow in their faith and give witness to others. We are an exciting learning community where every child is given the opportunity to enjoy reaching their full potential – intellectually, spiritually, physically and creatively. We are a loving community where each person is cared for as a unique gift from God and can grow socially and emotionally in a happy and safe atmosphere of mutual love and respect.
