Welcome to our website

All who work in Our Lady’s Primary School, teachers, care assistants, auxiliary, secretarial staff, dining room supervisor, janitor, kitchen staff and cleaners, take a keen interest in every pupil’s well being and care.

Children are the most important people in our school, and all staff are here to ensure each child’s stay in Our Lady’s is a happy and fruitful experience.  We endeavour, with the essential co-operation of our parents, parish and local community, to encourage young people to grow emotionally, socially, physically and spiritually to their full potential.By doing this we hope to nurture qualities in our pupils which will leave them well equipped to become responsible citizens within society.

We hope parents will play a full and active part in the learning process and the school is always open to parents who wish to discuss any aspect of their child’s development.

Our Lady’s aims to foster effective communication with parents about all aspects of their child’s school experience. We strive to keep parents and carers informed about events and activities taking place in and out of school throughout the year.

The staff at Our Lady’s work to a set of agreed aims which are listed below, and in striving to achieve these, we serve the best interests of our young people, parents and the community.

Miss M. Madill, Headteacher.
