## About

Our Lady's Catholic Primary School is a thriving and welcoming school founded in 1932 by the Salesian Sisters. We are proud to be the only primary school in the Salesian fellowship of schools, working closely with Salesian secondary schools to give equal importance to the four pillars of Salesianity: home, school, playground, and church. Our mission statement is 'You are young, you are precious, and you are loved.'

## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Exceptional School Experience: Our Lady's has exceeded our expectations in every way. The staff are warm and welcoming, and the facilities are modern and well-maintained. The Salesian values of RUAH are evident in everything the school does, and we've seen our child grow into a kind and compassionate child. We couldn't be happier with our choice. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Positive Experience, Room for Improvement: We've had a positive experience at Our Lady's so far. The teachers are caring and the curriculum is engaging. However, we've noticed that the school could do a better job of communicating with parents about what's going on. We've also had some issues with organisation and timing for certain events. Still, we're happy with the progress our child has made. *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Foundation for Future Success: I have two children who attended Our Lady's, and I couldn't be more pleased with the education they received. The school's focus on RUAH values helped them develop into kind and responsible young people. The teachers were always supportive and available to answer questions. The school's academic results are impressive too - my children went on to thrive in secondary school. *(Nov 2021)*
